Steric antisense inhibition of AMPA receptor Q/R editing reveals tight coupling to intronic editing sites and splicing [PDF]

, 2012
Adenosine-to-Inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing is a post-transcriptional mechanism, evolved to diversify the transcriptome in metazoa. In addition to wide-spread editing in non-coding regions protein recoding by RNA editing allows for fine tuning of protein ...

Genetic Pigmentary Disorders: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Manifestations

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic pigmentary disorders represent a diverse group of genetic conditions characterized by alterations in melanin production and transport and melanocyte development, resulting from single‐gene pathological variants. These disorders encompass both hypopigmentary and hyperpigmentary phenotypes, affecting not only skin pigmentation but also ...

ADAR1 restricts LINE-1 retrotransposition [PDF]

, 2016
Adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs) are involved in RNA editing that converts adenosines to inosines in double-stranded RNAs. ADAR1 was demonstrated to be functional on different viruses exerting either antiviral or proviral effects.

Oligophrenin-1 (OPHN1), a gene involved in X-linked intellectual disability, undergoes RNA editing and alternative splicing during human brain development. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Oligophrenin-1 (OPHN1) encodes for a Rho-GTPase-activating protein, important for dendritic morphogenesis and synaptic function. Mutations in this gene have been identified in patients with X-linked intellectual disability associated with cerebellar ...

ADAR1 Zα domain P195A mutation activates the MDA5-dependent RNA-sensing signaling pathway in brain without decreasing overall RNA editing

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: Variants of the RNA-editing enzyme ADAR1 cause Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS), in which severe inflammation occurs in the brain due to innate immune activation.

Epigenetic mechanisms and therapeutic innovations in chronic pain‐associated neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic pain, marked by nociceptive sensitization and maladaptive neuroplasticity, affects 30% of the global population with escalating socioeconomic burdens. Epidemiological data show a 2‐3‐fold increase in neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities among individuals with chronic pain, where epigenetic dysregulation serves as a key mechanism linking ...

Modulation of MicroRNA Processing by Dicer via Its Associated dsRNA Binding Proteins

Non-Coding RNA, 2021
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that are about 22 nucleotides in length. They regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally by guiding the effector protein Argonaute to its target mRNA in a sequence-dependent manner, causing the ...

Translesion synthesis in mammalian cells [PDF]

, 2006
DNA damage blocks the progression of the replication fork. In order to circumvent the damaged bases, cells employ specialized low stringency DNA polymerases, which are able to carry out translesion synthesis (TLS) past different types of damage. The five

In vivo RNA editing of point mutations via RNA-guided adenosine deaminases. [PDF]

, 2019
We present in vivo sequence-specific RNA base editing via adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADAR) enzymes with associated ADAR guide RNAs (adRNAs). To achieve this, we systematically engineered adRNAs to harness ADARs, and comprehensively evaluated the
