RNA editing is a fundamental biochemical process relating to the modification of nucleotides in messenger RNAs of functional genes in cells. RNA editing leads to re-establishment of conserved amino acid residues for functional proteins in nuclei, chloroplasts, and mitochondria. Identification of RNA editing factors that contributes to target site recognition increases our understanding of RNA editing mechanisms. Significant progress has been made in recent years in RNA editing studies for both animal and plant cells. RNA editing in nuclei and mitochondria of animal cells and in chloroplast of plant cells has been extensively documented and reviewed. RNA editing has been also extensively documented on plant mitochondria. However, functional diversity of RNA editing factors in plant mitochondria is not overviewed. Here, we review the biological significance of RNA editing, recent progress on the molecular mechanisms of RNA editing process, and function diversity of editing factors in plant mitochondrial research. We will focus on: (1) pentatricopeptide repeat proteins in Arabidopsis and in crop plants; (2) the progress of RNA editing process in plant mitochondria; (3) RNA editing-related RNA splicing; (4) RNA editing associated flower development; (5) RNA editing modulated male sterile; (6) RNA editing-regulated cell signaling; and (7) RNA editing involving abiotic stress. Advances described in this review will be valuable in expanding our understanding in RNA editing. The diverse functions of RNA editing in plant mitochondria will shed light on the investigation of molecular mechanisms that underlies plant development and abiotic stress tolerance. 相似文献

Most RNA editing sites in flowering plant mitochondria are located in coding regions of mRNAs and are usually essential for correct gene expression. Although accordingly little variation should be tolerated, editing sites appear and disappear even between closely related flowering plant species. To investigate whether such editing site variations also occur within species, we analyzed 379 RNA editing sites in the three ecotypes Columbia, Landsberg erecta and C24 of Arabidopsis thaliana. While all editing sites as such are conserved, we identify seven RNA editing sites with 40-60% differences in effective editing between individual ecotypes. These quantitative variations show that the extent of RNA editing in plant mitochondria is very flexible and can change even more rapidly than the evolution of species. The ecotype-specific variations of the RNA editing extent are Mendelian-inherited and can now be used to follow and identify the nuclear loci responsible for these RNA editing phenotypes. 相似文献

RNA editing by adenosine deaminases acting on RNAs (ADARs) can be both specific and non-specific, depending on the substrate. Specific editing of particular adenosines may depend on the overall sequence and structural context. However, the detailed mechanisms underlying these preferences are not fully understood. Here, we show that duplex structures mimicking an editing site in the Gabra3 pre-mRNA unexpectedly fail to support RNA editing at the Gabra3 I/M site, although phylogenetic analysis suggest an evolutionarily conserved duplex structure essential for efficient RNA editing. These unusual results led us to revisit the structural requirement for this editing by mutagenesis analysis. In vivo nuclear injection experiments of mutated editing substrates demonstrate that a non-conserved structure is a determinant for editing. This structure contains bulges either on the same or the strand opposing the edited adenosine. The position of these bulges and the distance to the edited base regulate editing. Moreover, elevated folding temperature can lead to a switch in RNA editing suggesting an RNA structural change. Our results indicate the importance of RNA tertiary structure in determining RNA editing. 相似文献

Differential inhibition of RNA editing in hepatitis delta virus genotype III by the short and long forms of hepatitis delta antigen 下载免费PDF全文
Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) produces two essential forms of the sole viral protein from the same open reading frame by using host RNA editing activity at the amber/W site in the antigenomic RNA. The roles of these two forms, HDAg-S and HDAg-L, are opposed. HDAg-S is required for viral RNA replication, whereas HDAg-L, which is produced as a result of editing, inhibits viral RNA replication and is required for virion packaging. Both the rate and amount of editing are important because excessive editing will inhibit viral RNA replication, whereas insufficient editing will reduce virus secretion. Here we show that for HDV genotype III, which is associated with severe HDV disease, HDAg-L strongly inhibits editing of a nonreplicating genotype III reporter RNA, while HDAg-S inhibits only when expressed at much higher levels. The different inhibitory efficiencies are due to RNA structural elements located ca. 25 bp 3' of the editing site in the double-hairpin RNA structure required for editing at the amber/W site in HDV genotype III RNA. These results are consistent with regulation of amber/W editing in HDV genotype III by a negative-feedback mechanism due to differential interactions between structural elements in the HDV genotype III RNA and the two forms of HDAg. 相似文献

RNA编辑是一个十分重要的生物细胞分子机制。作为转录后修饰的一步,它可以增加蛋白质组学多样性,改变转录产物的稳定性,调节基因表达等。RNA编辑失调会导致各种疾病,包括神经疾病和癌症。在动物中,腺苷到肌苷(A-to-I)的编辑是最普遍的。高通量测序技术的进步大大提高了在全局范围内检测和量化RNA编辑的能力,使得RNA编辑的大规模全基因组分析变得可行,产生了一系列基于高通量测序技术的RNA编辑位点预测方法。通过对这些方法进行介绍、总结和分析,为RNA编辑的进一步研究提供一些思路。 相似文献
