Abstract:

The conversion of adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) by RNA editing, at specific positions within RNAs, represents an increasingly common posttranscriptional modification for generating diversity and flexibility in eukaryotic gene expression. This chapter describes a number of mRNA substrates that undergo A-to-I editing events, the effects that such alterations in coding potential have upon protein function, and the candidate enzymes responsible for such posttranscriptional modifications. While nucleotide sequence analyses have revealed the presence of a CGG codon encoding the critical regulatory arginine residue within the TM2 region of GluR-B cDNAs, a glutamine (CAG) codon was found in GluR-B genomic DNA at this position Q/R site. The editing of RNAs encoding glutamate receptor subunits results from the conversion of genomically encoded adenosine residues to the guanosine-like nucleotides found in cDNAs generated from mature GluR mRNA transcripts. The hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a subviral human pathogen whose packaging and propagation are dependent on concurrent infection with the hepatitis B virus. Recent studies of RNA editing in polyomavirus have suggested that this posttranscriptional modification represents a mechanism by which RNA transcripts expressed early after viral infection are inactivated subsequent to viral DNA replication (the late phase). While future work will further define the cellular and molecular basis for dsRNA adenosine deamination, the functional consequences of subtle A-to-I changes in mRNAs and the alterations in amino acid sequence for resultant proteins are bound to be profound.

A-to-I editing events in transcripts encoding non-NMDA glutamatc receptor subunits. A schematic representation of the predicted topology for GluR-A is presented indicating the relative positions of amino acid alterations produced as a result of A-to-I editing events and the location of the flip/flop domain (black rectangle); the topology of subunits other than GluR-A ( ) has not been determined. The posttranscriptional conversion of adenosine to inosine can be seen as an A-to-G discrepancy between the nucleotide sequences of genomic and complementary DNA (cDNA). The genomic (upper), cDNA (lower) and predicted amino acid alterations resulting from these editing events are presented.

Experimental strategy for determining the identity of a modified nucleotide(s) subsequent to RNA editing. A biochemical strategy is presented in which an RNA substrate uniformly labeled with [-P]-ATP is subjected to in vitro editing using HeLa cell nuclear extract as a source of enzymatic activity. The resulting in vitro reaction product is digested to completion with nuclease P1, yielding nucleotide 5′-monophosphates that can be resolved by thin-layer chromatography.
