The majority of trypanosomal mitochondrial pre-mRNAs undergo massive uridine insertion/deletion editing which creates open reading frames. Although the pre-editing addition of short 3′ A-tails is known to stabilize transcripts during and after the editing, the processing event committing the fully-edited mRNAs to translation remained unknown. Here we show that a heterodimer of pentatricopeptide repeat-containing (PPR) proteins, termed kinetoplast polyadenylation/ uridylation factors (KPAFs) 1 and 2, induces the post-editing addition of A/U-heteropolymers by KPAP1 poly(A) polymerase and RET1 terminal uridyltransferase. Edited transcripts bearing 200–300 nucleotide-long A/U-tails, but not short A-tails, were enriched in translating ribosomal complexes and affinity-purified ribosomal particles. KPAF1 repression led to a selective loss of A/U-tailed mRNAs and concomitant inhibition of protein synthesis. These results establish A/U extensions as the defining cis-elements of translation-competent mRNAs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that A/U-tailed mRNA preferentially interacts with the small ribosomal subunit, whereas edited substrates and complexes bind to the large subunit.
