Uridine insertion/deletion RNA editing in trypanosome mitochondria--a review
A M Estévez et al. Gene. 1999.
Abstract
The uridine insertion/deletion RNA editing in trypanosome mitochondria is a unique posttranscriptional RNA maturation process that involves the addition or removal of uridine residues at precise sites usually within the coding regions of mitochondrial transcripts. This process creates initiation and termination codons, corrects frameshifts and even builds entire open-reading frames from nonsense sequences. The development of several in-vitro editing assays has provided much insight into the molecular mechanism of RNA editing, which appears to involve cleavage, U addition, exonuclease trimming and ligation, essentially as proposed in the original 'enzyme cascade' model (Blum, B., Bakalara, N., Simpson, L., 1990. A model for RNA editing in kinetoplastid mitochondria: 'Guide' RNA molecules transcribed from maxicircle DNA provide the edited information. Cell 60, 189-198). However, little is known about the biochemical properties of the proteins involved and the significance and role of this process. This article is a review of recent findings on uridine-insertion/deletion editing in trypanosome mitochondria, with an emphasis on the proteins isolated and characterized that may have a role in this process.
