Abstract
Uridine insertion/deletion RNA editing is an essential process in kinetoplastid parasites whereby mitochondrial mRNAs are modified through the specific insertion and deletion of uridines to generate functional open reading frames, many of which encode components of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The roles of numerous non-enzymatic editing factors have remained opaque given the limitations of conventional methods to interrogate the order and mechanism by which editing progresses and thus roles of individual proteins. Here, we examined whole populations of partially edited sequences using high throughput sequencing and a novel bioinformatic platform, the Trypanosome RNA Editing Alignment Tool (TREAT), to elucidate the roles of three proteins in the RNA Editing Mediator Complex (REMC). We determined that the factors examined function in the progression of editing through a gRNA; however, they have distinct roles and REMC is likely heterogeneous in composition. We provide the first evidence that editing can proceed through numerous paths within a single gRNA and that non-linear modifications are essential, generating commonly observed junction regions. Our data support a model in which RNA editing is executed via multiple paths that necessitate successive re-modification of junction regions facilitated, in part, by the REMC variant containing TbRGG2 and MRB8180.

Abstract
MOTIVATION There are numerous examples of RNA-RNA complexes, including microRNA-mRNA and small RNA-mRNA duplexes for regulation of translation, guide RNA interactions with target RNA for post-transcriptional modification and small nuclear RNA duplexes for splicing. Predicting the base pairs formed between two interacting sequences remains difficult, at least in part because of the competition between unimolecular and bimolecular structure. RESULTS Two algorithms were developed for improved prediction of bimolecular RNA structure that consider the competition between self-structure and bimolecular structure. These algorithms utilize two novel approaches to evaluate accessibility: free energy density minimization and pseudo-energy minimization. Free energy density minimization minimizes the folding free energy change per nucleotide involved in an intermolecular secondary structure. Pseudo-energy minimization (called AccessFold) minimizes the sum of free energy change and a pseudo-free energy penalty for bimolecular pairing of nucleotides that are unlikely to be accessible for bimolecular structure. The pseudo-free energy, derived from unimolecular pairing probabilities, is applied per nucleotide in bimolecular pairs, and this approach is able to predict binding sites that are split by unimolecular structures. A benchmark set of 17 bimolecular RNA structures was assembled to assess structure prediction. Pseudo-energy minimization provides a statistically significant improvement in sensitivity over the method that was found in a benchmark to be the most accurate previously available method, with an improvement from 36.8% to 57.8% in mean sensitivity for base pair prediction. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION Pseudo-energy minimization is available for download as AccessFold, under an open-source license and as part of the RNAstructure package, at: http://rna.urmc.rochester.edu/RNAstructure.html CONTACT david_mathews@urmc.rochester.edu SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Abstract
RNA editing describes a chemically diverse set of biomolecular reactions in which the nucleotide sequence of RNA molecules is altered. Editing reactions have been identified in many organisms and frequently contribute to the maturation of organellar transcripts. A special editing reaction has evolved within the mitochondria of the kinetoplastid protozoa. The process is characterized by the insertion and deletion of uridine nucleotides into otherwise nontranslatable messenger RNAs. Kinetoplastid RNA editing involves an exclusive class of small, noncoding RNAs known as guide RNAs. Furthermore, a unique molecular machinery, the editosome, catalyzes the process. Editosomes are megadalton multienzyme assemblies that provide a catalytic surface for the individual steps of the reaction cycle. Here I review the current mechanistic understanding and molecular inventory of kinetoplastid RNA editing and the editosome machinery. Special emphasis is placed on the molecular morphology of the editing complex in order to correlate structural features with functional characteristics.

Abstract
The majority of mitochondrial pre-messenger RNAs in African trypanosomes are substrates of a U-nucleotide-specific insertion/deletion-type RNA editing reaction. The process converts nonfunctional pre-mRNAs into translation-competent molecules and can generate protein diversity by alternative editing. High molecular mass protein complexes termed editosomes catalyze the processing reaction. They stably interact with pre-edited mRNAs and small noncoding RNAs, known as guide RNAs (gRNAs), which act as templates in the reaction. Editosomes provide a molecular surface for the individual steps of the catalytic reaction cycle and although the protein inventory of the complexes has been studied in detail, a structural analysis of the processing machinery has only recently been accomplished. Electron microscopy in combination with single particle reconstruction techniques has shown that steady state isolates of editosomes contain ensembles of two classes of stable complexes with calculated apparent hydrodynamic sizes of 20S and 35-40S. 20S editosomes are free of substrate RNAs, whereas 35-40S editosomes are associated with endogenous mRNA and gRNA molecules. Both complexes are characterized by a diverse structural landscape, which include complexes that lack or possess defined subdomains. Here, we summarize the consensus models and structural landmarks of both complexes. We correlate structural features with functional characteristics and provide an outlook into dynamic aspects of the editing reaction cycle.

Abstract
RNA turnover and RNA editing are essential for regulation of mitochondrial gene expression in Trypanosoma brucei. RNA turnover is controlled in part by RNA 3' adenylation and uridylation status, with trans-acting factors also impacting RNA homeostasis. However, little is known about the mitochondrial degradation machinery or its regulation in T. brucei. We have identified a mitochondrial exoribonuclease, TbRND, whose expression is highly up-regulated in the insect proliferative stage of the parasite. TbRND shares sequence similarity with RNase D family enzymes but differs from all reported members of this family in possessing a CCHC zinc finger domain. In vitro, TbRND exhibits 3' to 5' exoribonuclease activity, with specificity toward uridine homopolymers, including the 3' oligo(U) tails of guide RNAs (gRNAs) that provide the sequence information for RNA editing. Several lines of evidence generated from RNAi-mediated knockdown and overexpression cell lines indicate that TbRND functions in gRNA metabolism in vivo. First, TbRND depletion results in gRNA tails extended by 2-3 nucleotides on average. Second, overexpression of wild type but not catalytically inactive TbRND results in a substantial decrease in the total gRNA population and a consequent inhibition of RNA editing. The observed effects on the gRNA population are specific as rRNAs, which are also 3'-uridylated, are unaffected by TbRND depletion or overexpression. Finally, we show that gRNA binding proteins co-purify with TbRND. In summary, TbRND is a novel 3' to 5' exoribonuclease that appears to have evolved a function highly specific to the mitochondrion of trypanosomes.

Abstract
Noncoding RNAs form an indispensible component of the cellular information processing networks, a role that crucially depends on the specificity of their interactions among each other as well as with DNA and protein. Patterns of intramolecular and intermolecular base pairs govern most RNA interactions. Specific base pairs dominate the structure formation of nucleic acids. Only little details distinguish intramolecular secondary structures from those cofolding molecules. RNA-protein interactions, on the other hand, are strongly dependent on the RNA structure as well since the sequence content of helical regions is largely unreadable, so that sequence specificity is mostly restricted to unpaired loop regions. Conservation of both sequence and structure thus this can give indications of the functioning of the diversity of ncRNAs.

Abstract
Regulation of gene expression in kinetoplastid mitochondria is largely post-transcriptional and involves the orchestration of polycistronic RNA processing, 3'-terminal maturation, RNA editing, turnover, and translation; however, these processes remain poorly studied. Core editing complexes and their U-insertion/deletion activities are relatively well characterized, and a battery of ancillary factors has recently emerged. This study characterized a novel DExH-box RNA helicase, termed here REH2 (RNA editing associated helicase 2), in unique ribonucleoprotein complexes that exhibit unwinding and guide RNA binding activities, both of which required a double-stranded RNA-binding domain (dsRBD) and a functional helicase motif I of REH2. REH2 complexes and recently identified related particles share a multiprotein core but are distinguished by several differential polypeptides. Finally, REH2 associates transiently, via RNA, with editing complexes, mitochondrial ribosomes, and several ancillary factors that control editing and RNA stability. We propose that these putative higher order structures coordinate mitochondrial gene expression.

Abstract
T. brucei survival relies on the expression of mitochondrial genes, most of which require RNA editing to become translatable. In trypanosomes, RNA editing involves the insertion and deletion of uridylates, a developmentally regulated process directed by guide RNAs (gRNAs) and catalyzed by the editosome, a complex of proteins. The pathway for mRNA/gRNA complex formation and assembly with the editosome is still unknown. Work from our laboratory has suggested that distinct mRNA/gRNA complexes anneal to form a conserved core structure that may be important for editosome assembly. The secondary structure for the apocytochrome b (CYb) pair has been previously determined and is consistent with our model of a three-helical structure. Here, we used cross-linking and solution structure probing experiments to determine the structure of the ATPase subunit 6 (A6) mRNA hybridized to its cognate gA6-14 gRNA in different stages of editing. Our results indicate that both unedited and partially edited A6/gA6-14 pairs fold into a three-helical structure similar to the previously characterized CYb/gCYb-558 pair. These results lead us to conclude that at least two mRNA/gRNA pairs with distinct editing sites and distinct primary sequences fold to a three-helical secondary configuration that persists through the first few editing events.

Abstract
The mitochondrial RNA-binding proteins (MRP) 1 and 2 play a regulatory role in RNA editing and putative role(s) in RNA processing in Trypanosoma brucei. Here, we report the purification of a high molecular weight protein complex consisting solely of the MRP1 and MRP2 proteins from the mitochondrion of T. brucei. The MRP1/MRP2 complex natively purified from T. brucei and the one reconstituted in Escherichia coli in vivo bind guide (g) RNAs and pre-mRNAs with dissociation constants in the nanomolar range, and efficiently promote annealing of pre-mRNAs with their cognate gRNAs. In addition, the MRP1/MRP2 complex stimulates annealing between two non-cognate RNA molecules suggesting that along with the cognate duplexes, spuriously mismatched RNA hybrids may be formed at some rate in vivo. A mechanism of catalysed annealing of gRNA/pre-mRNA by the MRP1/MRP2 complex is proposed.

Abstract
Most mitochondrial mRNAs in kinetoplastid protozoa require post-transcriptional RNA editing that inserts and deletes uridylates, a process that is catalyzed by multiprotein editosomes. KREPA6 is the smallest of six editosome proteins that have predicted oligonucleotide-binding (OB) folds. Inactivation of KREPA6 expression results in disruption and ultimate loss of approximately 20S editosomes and inhibition of procyclic form cell growth. Gel shift studies show that recombinant KREPA6 binds RNA, but not DNA, with a preference for oligo-(U) whether on the 3' end of gRNA or as a (UU)(12) homopolymer. Thus, KREPA6 is essential for the structural integrity and presence of approximately 20S editosomes and for cell viability. It functions in RNA binding perhaps primarily through the gRNA 3' oligo(U) tail. The significance of these findings to key steps in editing is discussed.

Abstract
Multisubunit RNA editing complexes catalyze uridylate insertion/deletion RNA editing directed by complementary guide RNAs (gRNAs). Editing in trypanosome mitochondria is transcript-specific and developmentally controlled, but the molecular mechanisms of substrate specificity remain unknown. Here we used a minimal A6 pre-mRNA/gRNA substrate to define functional determinants for full-round insertion and editing complex interactions at the editing site 2 (ES2). Editing begins with pre-mRNA cleavage within an internal loop flanked by upstream and downstream duplexes with gRNA. We found that substrate recognition around the internal loop is sequence-independent and that completely artificial duplexes spanning a single helical turn are functional. Furthermore, after our report of cross-linking interactions at the deletion ES1 (35), we show for the first time editing complex contacts at an insertion ES. Our studies using site-specific ribose 2' substitutions defined 2'-hydroxyls within the (a) gRNA loop region and (b) flanking helixes that markedly stimulate both pre-mRNA cleavage and editing complex interactions at ES2. Modification of the downstream helix affected scissile bond specificity. Notably, a single 2'-hydroxyl at ES2 is essential for cleavage but dispensable for editing complex cross-linking. This study provides new insights on substrate recognition during full-round editing, including the relevance of secondary structure and the first functional association of specific (pre-mRNA and gRNA) riboses with both endonuclease cleavage and cross-linking activities of editing complexes at an ES. Importantly, most observed cross-linking interactions are both conserved and relatively stable at ES2 and ES1 in hybrid substrates. However, they were also detected as transient low-stability contacts in a non-edited transcript.
