| Type: | Family | Name: | RNA editing complex, subunit MP18 |
| Description: | This entry represents subunit MP18 from the RNA editing complex found in Trypanosoma and Leishmania. The editing process is performed by the editosome, a multi-protein complex that catalyses the insertion and deletion of uridylates (U) that occurs during RNA editing. Uridylate insertion/deletion editing, which appears to be unique to these organisms, processes most mitochondrial pre-mRNAs to produce mature mRNAs. Editosomes consist of several components and in Trypanosoma these include: REL1/MP52 and REL2/Mp48 RNA ligases; MP18, MP42, MP63 and MP81 that contain zinc fingers []. | Short Name: | RNA_edit_cplx_su_MP18 |
