From: Dynamic response of RNA editing to temperature in Drosophila

Figure 7

Molecular model of the effect of temperature on RNA editing. (A) At increased temperature, some RNA structures that direct RNA editing, formed between sequences in an exon (blue) and intron (black), melt, resulting in a decrease in editing at 30°C. (B) dADAR protein (pink) level decreases at elevated temperatures, leading to a decrease in editing at the RNA structures that still form at 30°C. (C) Because some RNA structures melt (A), dADAR protein, although present at lower concentrations, is free to edit remaining highly stable RNA structures, leading to an increase in editing at certain adenosines.
