Site-specific A to I conversion requires dsRNA structures present around the editing site. These structures can be formed by exonic sequences and neighboring intronic sequences. An editing-site complementary sequence (ECS) has been identified in mice (Gerber e al.2001, Dawson et al.2004 ). Although minimal requirements for A to I editing have been identified, detailed mechanisms describing the individual steps are not yet well studied in humans.
