Fig. 7: Working model of the role and underlying mechanism of LNC-SNO49AB in leukaemogenesis.
From: The snoRNA-like lncRNA LNC-SNO49AB drives leukemia by activating the RNA-editing enzyme ADAR1

LNC-SNO49AB improves ADAR1 dimerization and its editing activity. Compared to normal hematopoietic cell, leukemia cell has a higher expression of LNC-SNO49AB, which can significantly enhance the activation of ADAR1-mediated RNA A-to-I editing.
