Dynamic landscape and regulation of RNA editing in mammals

Nature, 550(7675), 249–254.

By: M. Tan*, Q. Li*, R. Shanmugam*, R. Piskol*, J. Kohler*, A. Young*, K. Liu*, R. Zhang* ...

MeSH headings : Adenosine Deaminase / genetics; Adenosine Deaminase / metabolism; Animals; Female; Genotype; HEK293 Cells; Humans; Male; Mice; Muscles / metabolism; Nuclear Proteins / metabolism; Organ Specificity / genetics; Primates / genetics; Proteolysis; RNA Editing / genetics; RNA-Binding Proteins / genetics; RNA-Binding Proteins / metabolism; Spatio-Temporal Analysis; Species Specificity; Transcriptome / genetics
TL;DR: This work curated an extensive set of ADAR1 and ADAR2 targets and showed that many editing sites display distinct tissue-specific regulation by the ADAR enzymes in vivo, suggesting stronger cis-directed regulation of RNA editing for most sites, although the small set of conserved coding sites is under stronger trans-regulation.
