چکیده انگلیسی
Mitochondrial mRNA editing in trypanosomes is a posttranscriptional processing pathway thereby uridine residues (Us) are inserted into, or deleted from, messenger RNA precursors. By correcting frameshifts, introducing start and stop codons, and often adding most of the coding sequence, editing restores open reading frames for mitochondrially-encoded mRNAs. There can be hundreds of editing events in a single pre-mRNA, typically spaced by few nucleotides, with U-insertions outnumbering U-deletions by approximately 10-fold. The mitochondrial genome is composed of â¼50 maxicircles and thousands of minicircles. Catenated maxi- and minicircles are packed into a dense structure called the kinetoplast; maxicircles yield rRNA and mRNA precursors while guide RNAs (gRNAs) are produced predominantly from minicircles, although varying numbers of maxicircle-encoded gRNAs have been identified in kinetoplastids species. Guide RNAs specify positions and the numbers of inserted or deleted Us by hybridizing to pre-mRNA and forming series of mismatches. These 50-60 nucleotide (nt) molecules are 3â² uridylated by RET1 TUTase and stabilized via association with the gRNA binding complex (GRBC). Editing reactions of mRNA cleavage, U-insertion or deletion, and ligation are catalyzed by the RNA editing core complex (RECC). To function in mitochondrial translation, pre-mRNAs must further undergo post-editing 3â² modification by polyadenylation/uridylation. Recent studies revealed a highly compound nature of mRNA editing and polyadenylation complexes and their interactions with the translational machinery. Here we focus on mechanisms of RNA editing and its functional coupling with pre- and post-editing 3â² mRNA modification and gRNA maturation pathways.
