Abstract in another language
Deletion of uridylates from the 3'-most editing site of synthetic ATPase 6 pre-mRNA can be visualized directly by coincubation of a radiolabeled substrate RNA and a synthetic gRNA in 20S fractions of T. brucei mitochondrial lysates. Substrate RNA cleavage is gRNA directed and occurs 3' to the uridylates to be deleted. U residues appear to be sequentially removed from the 3' end of the 5' cleavage product prior to religation of the two pre-mRNA halves. gRNA/mRNA chimeric molecules are also produced. Time course experiments indicate that chimeras appear after cleavage intermediates and edited product. Furthermore, a mutant gRNA promotes formation of edited product but not detectable chimeras. Our results suggest a model for kinetoplastid RNA editing in which chimeric molecules are nonproductive end products of editing and not intermediates that serve as a repository for deleted U's.
