Structure-mediated modulation of mRNA abundance by A-to-I editing
RNA A-to-I editing introduces single nucleotide changes to RNA, but its role in cells remains unclear. Here, the authors analyse A-to-I editomes in human samples and find that A-to-I editing stabilizes RNA secondary structures and reduces the accessibility of AGO2-miRNA to target sites in mRNAs.
