Abstract

Edited Information Flow RNA is generally a faithful mirror of the information encoded in DNA. However, posttranscriptional RNA editing is a widespread phenomenon that can result in a translated protein differing from its gene code. A class of deaminase enzymes related to human APOBEC (apolipoprotein B editing complex protein) edit adenosines in eukaryotes. Randau et al. (p. 657 ) have discovered an addition to this enzyme family in prokaryotes that edits cytosine to uridine at the highly conserved and structurally critical position 8 in the majority of transfer RNAs of the hyperthermophilic archaebacterium Methanopyrus kandleri .
