Larger intercellular variation in (Q/R) editing of GluR6 than GluR5 revealed by single cell RT-PCR.

RNA editing of the pre-mRNA encoding the kainate receptor subtypes determines the Ca2+ permeability and the rectifying properties of the receptors in which these are assembled. GluR6 pre-mRNA contains three characterized editing sites: Q/R, IN and the Y/C, whereas GluR5 pre-mRNA contains only the (Q/R) site. Single cell RT-PCR was used on cultured cortical neurons to determine the relative expression and editing levels of the kainate receptor subunits encoding mRNA. The analysis showed a large intercellular variation in editing efficiency. The overall lower level of GluR5 editing, in the culture, compared to GluR6 editing is a result of an approximately 60% lower editing efficiency of GluR5 pre-mRNA, within single cells, compared with GluR6.[1]
