RNA editing 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The term RNA editing describes those molecular processes in which the information content is altered in an RNA molecule. To date such changes have been observed in tRNA. rRNA and mRNA molecules of eukaryotes, but not prokaryotes. The demonstration of RNA editing in prokaryotes may only be a matter of time, considering the range of species in which the various RNA editing processes have been found. RNA editing occurs in the nucleus, as well as in mitochondria and plastids, which are thought to have evolved from prokaryotic-like endosymbionts. Most of the RNA editing processes, however, appear to be evolutionarily recent acquisitions that arose independently. The diversity of RNA editing mechanisms includes nucleoside modifications such as C to U and A to I deaminations, as well as non-templated nucleotide additions and insertions. RNA editing in mRNAs effectively alters the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein so that it differs from that predicted by the genomic DNA sequence. 相似文献

RNA editing in higher plant plastids changes single cytidine residues to uridine through an unknown mechanism. In order to investigate the relation of editing to physiological processes and to other steps in plastid gene expression, we have tested the sensitivity of chloroplast RNA editing to heat shock and antibiotics. We show that heat shock conditions as well as treatment of plants with prokaryotic translational inhibitors can inhibit plastid RNA editing. Surprisingly, this inhibitory effect is confined to a limited number of plastid editing sites suggesting that some site-specific factor(s) but none of the general components of the plastid RNA editing machinery are compromised. Contrary to previous expectations, our results provide evidence for a role of plastid translation in RNA editing. 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 plays an important role in the regulation of mitochondrial gene expression in flowering plants. In this study, we examined RNA editing of the mitochondrial genes cox2, atp6 and atp9 in five isonuclear alloplasmic male-sterile lines (IAMSLs) of rice to investigate whether different cytoplasmic types affect RNA editing. Although many editing sites were conserved among the three genes, we found that the editing efficiency of certain sites was significantly different between different IAMSLs or between IAMSLs and their corresponding cytoplasmic donor CMS lines. Furthermore, several editing sites were found to be either present or absent in certain IAMSLs and their corresponding CMS lines. These results indicate that nuclear loci, as well as unknown editing factors within the mitochondria of different cytoplasmic types, may be involved in RNA editing, and they suggest that RNA editing in plant mitochondria is affected by nucleo-cytoplasmic interactions. 相似文献

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

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
