Abstract
Limited proteolysis of APOBEC-1 complementation factor (ACF) and computational secondary structure modeling were used to guide the construction of a well-folded, truncation protein spanning residues 1-320 and containing three RNA recognition motifs (RRMs). ACF320 bound preferentially to apoB mRNA and supported APOBEC-1 dependent editing at 40% of the activity of full length ACF. Live cell FRET and immunoprecipitation assays revealed that ACF320 formed homomultimers in situ that were bridged by RNA. Our study predicted that the C to U editosome may be assembled on the mooring sequence of apoB mRNA as a dimer of ACF bound to a dimer of APOBEC-1.
