RNA editing modifies gene sequences after transcription, creating diverse proteins from one gene. This review covers base-modification RNA editing mechanisms, evolution, and regulation.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • RNA editing is a post-transcriptional process altering gene-encoded sequences in eukaryotes.
  • This phenomenon allows for the production of functionally distinct proteins from a single gene.
  • Mechanisms include base insertions, deletions, and substitutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements in base-modification RNA editing.
  • To emphasize mechanistic differences, evolutionary aspects, and regulatory insights.
  • To provide an overview of substitutional RNA editing in mammals.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on RNA editing mechanisms.
  • Analysis of protein factors involved in inducing RNA editing in vitro.
Keywords:

  • Examination of the hydrolytic deamination of cytosine to uracil and adenosine to inosine.

    • Main Results:

    • Substitutional RNA editing, specifically base modification, influences key physiological processes in mammals.
    • RNA-dependent deaminases, including those specific for tRNA, represent a supergene family.
    • Understanding of RNA editing has significantly increased, revealing mechanistic and regulatory details.

    Conclusions:

    • Base-modification RNA editing is a crucial mechanism for generating protein diversity.
    • Further research into RNA editing mechanisms, evolution, and regulation is warranted.
    • The characterized protein factors and deaminases are central to understanding RNA editing.
