Adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs) convert adenosine to inosine in double-stranded RNA. A-to-I editing of RNA is a widespread posttranscriptional process that has recently emerged as an important mechanism in cancer biology. A-to-I editing levels

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells
In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

N1-Methylpseudouridine and pseudouridine modifications modulate mRNA decoding during translation
The ribosome utilizes hydrogen bonding between mRNA codons and aminoacyl-tRNAs to ensure rapid and accurate protein production. Chemical modification of mRNA nucleobases can adjust the strength and pattern of this hydrogen bonding to alter protein ...

Template-based eukaryotic genome editing directed by SviCas3 [PDF]
RNA-guided gene editing based on the CRISPR-Cas system is currently the most effective genome editing technique. Here, we report that the SviCas3 from the subtype I-B-Svi Cas system in Streptomyces virginiae IBL14 is an RNA-guided and DNA-guided DNA endonuclease suitable for the HDR-directed gene and/or base editing of eukaryotic cell genomes.

Circulating tumor cells: advancing personalized therapy in small cell lung cancer patients
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer that spreads rapidly to secondary sites such as the brain and liver. Cancer cells circulating in the blood, “circulating tumor cells” (CTCs), have demonstrated prognostic value in SCLC, and evaluating biomarkers on CTCs could guide treatment decisions such as for PARP inhibitors ...

RNA editing enzymes: structure, biological functions and applications
With the advancement of sequencing technologies and bioinformatics, over than 170 different RNA modifications have been identified. However, only a few of these modifications can lead to base pair changes, which are called RNA editing.

Evolutionary origins of apoB mRNA editing: Catalysis by a cytidine deaminase that has acquired a novel RNA-binding motif at its active site [PDF]
The site-specific C to U editing of apolipoprotein B100 (apoB100) mRNA requires a 27 kDa protein (p27) with homology to cytidine deaminase. Here, we show that p27 is a zinc-containing deaminase, which operates catalytically like the E.

The Evolution of Chloroplast RNA Editing [PDF]
RNA editing alters the nucleotide sequence of an RNA molecule so that it deviates from the sequence of its DNA template. Different RNA-editing systems are found in the major eukaryotic lineages, and these systems are thought to have evolved independently.
