| description | RNA editing is essential for the formation of functional properties of ionotropic glutamate channels. Previously, we demonstrated the regulation of RNA editing upon manipulation with neural activity in vitro. The hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), which serve as a master circadian pacemaker depends on glutamatergic neurotransmission, in particular for signal transmission from the retina, and they exhibit spontaneous 24h rhythmical neural activity. We observed changes in the extent of ionotropic glutamate receptor RNA editing in the SCN during the 24h cycle. Therefore, we aimed to understand the overall role of RNA editing for the mechanism of SCN function and to evaluate the impact of RNA under editing on gene expression. |
