Dual core processing: MRB1 is an emerging kinetoplast RNA editing complex.
Our understanding of kinetoplastid RNA (kRNA) editing has centered on this paradigm: guide RNAs (gRNAs) provide a blueprint for uridine insertion/deletion into mitochondrial mRNAs by the RNA editing core complex (RECC). The characterization of constituent subunits of the mitochondrial RNA-binding complex 1 (MRB1) implies that it too is vital to the editing process. The recently elucidated MRB1 ...
متن کاملMRB3010 is a core component of the MRB1 complex that facilitates an early step of the kinetoplastid RNA editing process.
Gene expression in the mitochondria of the kinetoplastid parasite Trypanosoma brucei is regulated primarily post-transcriptionally at the stages of RNA processing, editing, and turnover. The mitochondrial RNA-binding complex 1 (MRB1) is a recently identified multiprotein complex containing components with distinct functions during different aspects of RNA metabolism, such as guide RNA (gRNA) an...
متن کاملArchitecture of the trypanosome RNA editing accessory complex, MRB1
Trypanosoma brucei undergoes an essential process of mitochondrial uridine insertion and deletion RNA editing catalyzed by a 20S editosome. The multiprotein mitochondrial RNA-binding complex 1 (MRB1) is emerging as an equally essential component of the trypanosome RNA editing machinery, with additional functions in gRNA and mRNA stabilization. The distinct and overlapping protein compositions o...
متن کاملA Core MRB1 Complex Component Is Indispensable for RNA Editing in Insect and Human Infective Stages of Trypanosoma brucei
Uridine insertion/deletion RNA editing is a unique and vital process in kinetoplastids, required for creation of translatable open reading frames in most mitochondrially-encoded RNAs. Emerging as a key player in this process is the mitochondrial RNA binding 1 (MRB1) complex. MRB1 comprises an RNA-independent core complex of at least six proteins, including the GAP1/2 guide RNA (gRNA) binding pr...
متن کاملNative Variants of the MRB1 Complex Exhibit Specialized Functions in Kinetoplastid RNA Editing
Adaptation and survival of Trypanosoma brucei requires editing of mitochondrial mRNA by uridylate (U) insertion and deletion. Hundreds of small guide RNAs (gRNAs) direct the mRNA editing at over 3,000 sites. RNA editing is controlled during the life cycle but the regulation of substrate and stage specificity remains unknown. Editing progresses in the 3' to 5' direction along the pre-mRNA in blo...
