Abstract：
:Considerable progress has been made in unraveling the mechanistic features of RNA editing processes in a number of genetic systems. Recent highlights include the identification of the catalytic subunit of the mammalian apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme as a zinc-dependent cytidine deaminase that binds to RNA, the demonstration that adenosines in brain glutamate receptor pre-mRNAs are converted into inosines and that double-stranded RNA A deaminase (dsRAD), the candidate enzyme, is another zinc-dependent RNA nucleotide deaminase, and a mounting body of evidence for a cleavage-ligation mechanism for U insertion/deletion editing in kinetoplastid protozoa.
