Biochemical analysis and scanning force microscopy reveal productive and nonproductive ADAR2 binding to RNA substrates

TABLE 1.

ADAR2 binding and editing of gus-PSTVd RNA constructs

Binding to R/G stem–loop Binding to segment 1a Binding to backbone (not segment 1) Editing specifically at R/G site Number of nonselective editing sitesb
aBinding to segment 1 is listed separately because this may be enhanced by the presence of the 5′ and 3′ ends of the molecule in this region.
bFor determination of nonselective editing sites, 170 A residues in the backbone molecule were analyzed.
(ND) Not determined.
R/G wt 94% 4% 2% 86% 15
C42U46 83% 12% 5% ND ND
G56 67% 22% 11% 35% 17
