Figure 2.
The amount of RNA editing depends on the exposure of the chimeric transcript to APOBEC1. HuH-7 cells were transiently transfected with the double-fluorescent chimera and the indicated plasmids. (A) RNA editing (percentage of gated cells) at different time points (hours) after transfection. (B) Titration of RNA editing in cells transiently transfected with different amounts of APOBEC1 expressing plasmid or with control plasmids. (C) The bar diagram shows the RNA editing in HuH-7 transiently cotransfected with plasmids encoding for either rat, human, lizard APOBEC1 or a chimera of lizard APOBEC1 fused with the C-terminal portion of the rat APOBEC1. The error bars represent the SEM from at least 3 experiments.
