RNA-editing enzyme combined with RNA
RNA-editing enzyme combined with RNA. Computer model showing the mRNA-editing enzyme, APOBEC-1 (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide 1), interacting with mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid). APOBEC enzymes catalyse the breakdown (deamination) of the amino acid cytidine in nucleic acids (DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid, and RNA), changing it to uridine. APOBEC-1 works in conjuction with ACF (APOBEC-1 complementation factor). Different APOBEC members use this deamination process to achieve diverse human biological functions, such as inhibiting the replication of HIV

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of an RNA-editing enzyme combined with RNA, providing a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of molecular biology. The image portrays the mRNA-editing enzyme APOBEC-1, also known as apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide 1, engaging with messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA). APOBEC enzymes possess the remarkable ability to catalyze the deamination process, breaking down cytidine amino acids in nucleic acids like DNA and RNA and transforming them into uridine. The collaboration between APOBEC-1 and ACF (APOBEC-1 complementation factor) is essential for its functionality. This complex interaction plays a crucial role in various human biological functions by inhibiting HIV replication among other tasks. By unraveling this structural illustration, we gain profound insights into biochemical processes that underpin life itself. The artistry behind this scientific depiction lies in its meticulous attention to detail, presenting us with cut-out visuals that emphasize the complexity of these compounds at a molecular level. From proteins to nucleic acids, every element is meticulously arranged within space-filled structures that highlight their importance in genetics and proteomics research. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this extraordinary moment where science meets art. Through this stunning portrayal of RNA editing's inner workings, we are reminded once again of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding in our ever-evolving quest to decipher nature's secrets.
