RBPs: an RNA editor's choice.

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play a key role in gene expression and post-transcriptional RNA regulation. As integral components of ribonucleoprotein complexes, RBPs are susceptible to genomic and RNA Editing derived amino acid substitutions, impacting functional interactions. This article explores the prevalent RNA Editing of RBPs, unravelling the complex interplay between RBPs and RNA Editing events. Emphasis is placed on their influence on single amino acid variants (SAAVs) and implications for disease development. The role of Proteogenomics in identifying SAAVs is briefly discussed, offering insights into the RBP landscape. RNA Editing within RBPs emerges as a promising target for precision medicine, reshaping our understanding of genetic and epigenetic variations in health and disease.
