Abstract

RNA editing is a genetic regulatory process that was recently discovered in the mitochondrion of trypanosomatid parasites. It alters mRNA by the addition and deletion of uridines. Much remains to be learned about this process, including identification and characterization of the macromolecules that catalyze and regulate this process and the mechanism of editing.

摘要

RNA编辑是一种基因调控过程，最近在锥虫寄生虫的线粒体中被发现。它通过尿苷的添加和缺失来改变mRNA。关于这个过程仍有许多有待了解的地方，包括催化和调节这个过程的大分子的鉴定和表征以及编辑机制。
