Developmental regulation of covalent modification of double-stranded RNA during silkmoth oogenesis

Abstract
Follicular cells of the silkmoth Bombyx mori contain an enzymatic activity that modifies RNA duplexes in vitro. The modifying activity converts adenosine residues into inosine in duplex but not single-stranded RNA and mediates the partial unwinding of the complement strands. Because of the modification, the RNA loses its ability to form perfect duplexes with its complement upon reannealing in vitro. The modifying enzyme is localized in the cytoplasm of follicular cells and its activity is modulated in a developmentally regulated manner. In contrast, follicular nuclei contain an activity that inhibits the modification and unwinding of duplex RNA. The modifying activity is also present in the cytoplasm of unfertilized oocytes and its accumulation during oogenesis parallels that of the follicular cells. Examination of an established silkmoth cell line of ovarian origin revealed that, in contrast to the situation with follicular cells, the modifying activity has an exclusive nuclear localization. The cytoplasmic fraction of these cells is not only devoid of modifying activity but, as is the case with the nuclear fraction of follicular cells, contains an activity that inhibits duplex RNA modification and unwinding. We conclude that the modification promoting and inhibiting activities are not restricted to a single cell type and that their compartmentalization is developmentally regulated.
