1 Apolipoprotein (apo-) B mRNA editing at nucleotide 6666 converts cytidine to uridine, transforming the codon for glutamine-2153 to a termination codon. Uridine apolipoprotein B Homo sapiens
2 The uridine-6666 resulting from the editing reaction had the same ratio of 3H to 32P as did the cytidine-6666, demonstrating that deamination rather than base exchange or nucleotide replacement is the mechanism for apo-B mRNA editing. Uridine apolipoprotein B Homo sapiens
