Model of chloroplast RNA editing. First, a site-specific trans-acting factor binds an upstream cis-element in a sequence-specific manner. Based on this binding, the factor then interacts with an editing site also in a sequence-specific manner. This interaction is most likely necessary for C-to-U conversion, possibly by allowing contact of the putative catalytic domain of the site-specific factor with the target C residue.
