RNA Editing02:23

RNA Editing

RNA editing is a post-transcriptional modification where a precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) nucleotide sequence is changed by base insertion, deletion, or modification. The extent of RNA editing varies from a few hundred bases, in mitochondrial DNA of trypanosomes, to a just single base, in nuclear genes of mammals. Even a single base change in the pre-mRNA can convert a codon for one amino acid into the codon for another amino acid or a stop codon. This type of re-coding can significantly affect the...
Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation02:53

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Types of Selection01:46

Types of Selection

Natural selection influences the frequencies of particular alleles and phenotypes within populations in several different ways. Primarily, natural selection can be directional, stabilizing, or disruptive. Directional selection favors one extreme trait and shifts the population towards that phenotype while selecting against individuals displaying alternate traits. Stabilizing selection favors an intermediate trait with a narrow range of variation. Deviation from the optimal phenotype towards an...
Conserved Binding Sites01:49

Conserved Binding Sites

Many proteins’ biological role depends on their interactions with their ligands, small molecules that bind to specific locations on the protein known as ligand-binding sites. Ligand-binding sites are often conserved among homologous proteins as these sites are critical for protein function.
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally analyses the...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Adenosine deamination on RNA transcripts is crucial in metazoans.
  • Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing is catalyzed by ADAR enzymes.
  • Two distinct modes of A-to-I editing exist: site-selective and hyper-editing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent findings on RNA editing in noncoding and coding regions.
  • To discuss the evolutionary aspects of site-selective and hyper-editing.
  • To elucidate the structural distinctions between site-selective and hyper-edited RNA substrates.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent research on RNA editing.
  • Analysis of structural characteristics of edited RNA substrates.
  • Comparative evolutionary analysis of editing mechanisms.

Main Results:

  • Site-selective editing targets specific A-to-I sites within double-stranded RNA structures.
  • Hyper-editing affects extensive regions of duplex RNA, deaminating multiple adenosines.
  • Both editing types occur on polymerase II-derived transcripts.

Conclusions:

  • A-to-I RNA editing is a widespread regulatory mechanism in metazoans.
  • Understanding the structural and evolutionary differences is key to deciphering RNA editing functions.
  • Further research is needed to fully grasp the implications of these editing modes.
