Evolution of RNA editing in kinetoplastid protozoa.

Abstract:

:The editing of RNA in trypanosomatid mitochondria involves the insertion and occasional deletion of uridine residues within coding regions of maxicircle messenger RNA transcripts. The extent to which the transcripts of homologous genes undergo editing differs in different species. In some, entire genes are edited (pan-editing), whereas in others, editing is limited to the 5' termini of editing domains (5' editing). Here we investigate which type of editing is ancestral and which is derived, by analysing RNA editing in the different lineages, using a kinetoplastid phylogeny reconstructed from nuclear small subunit ribosomal RNA sequences. We conclude that the ancestral cryptogenes were pan-edited, and we hypothesize that the 5'-edited homologues were generated by several independent events from partially edited RNAs, in which case editing may be a more primitive mechanism than previously thought.

  • The impacts of climate change on water resources and agriculture in China.

    abstract::China is the world's most populous country and a major emitter of greenhouse gases. Consequently, much research has focused on China's influence on climate change but somewhat less has been written about the impact of climate change on China.
