Regulated RNA Editing and Functional Epistasis in Shaker Potassium Channels
Regulated point modification by an RNA editing enzyme occurs at four conserved sites in the Drosophila Shaker potassium channel. Single mRNA molecules can potentially represent any of 2(4) = 16 permutations (isoforms) of these natural variants. We generated isoform expression profiles to assess sexually dimorphic, spatial, and temporal differences. Striking tissue-specific expression was seen f...
متن کاملEstimating RNA editing efficiency of five editing sites in the serotonin 2C receptor by pyrosequencing.
Accumulating evidence suggests that altered RNA editing of the serotonin 2C receptor (HTR2C) is involved in the pathophysiology of mental disorders and the action of antidepressants. Estimating RNA editing of HTR2C in various samples is a first step to understanding its pathophysiological roles. Here, we developed a high-throughput quantification method of RNA editing efficiency by pyrosequenci...
متن کاملCellular localization of Shab and Shaw potassium channels in the lobster stomatogastric ganglion.
The motor pattern generated by the 14 neurons composing the pyloric circuit in the stomatogastric ganglion (STG) of the spiny lobster, Panulirus interruptus, is organized not only by the synaptic connections between neurons, but also by the characteristic intrinsic electrophysiological properties of the individual cells. These cellular properties result from the unique complement of ion channel...
متن کاملSequence based identification of RNA editing sites.
RNA editing diversifies the human transcriptome beyond the genomic repertoire. Recent years have proven a strategy based on genomics and computational sequence analysis as a powerful tool for identification and characterization of RNA editing. In particular, analysis of the human transcriptome has resulted in the identification of thousands of A-to-I editing sites within genomic repeats, as wel...
متن کاملComputational prediction of RNA editing sites
MOTIVATION Some organisms edit their messenger RNA resulting in differences between the genomic sequence for a gene and the corresponding messenger RNA sequence. This difference complicates experimental and computational attempts to find and study genes in organisms with RNA editing even if the full genomic sequence is known. Nevertheless, knowledge of these editing sites is crucial for underst...
