The relationship between the number of edited sites and efficiency of protein synthesis. The ratio of firefly (test) to Renilla (background) synthesis (measured as luminescence) detected in the 5 mRNA species indicates efficiency of protein synthesis. Data for warm-preference editing pattern are shown by the left-side bars in each frame; data for cold-preference editing pattern are in the right side of each frame. The number of edited sites in the fragment of the 3′UTR linked to the firefly luciferase reporter gene is shown in the name of the gene after the dash symbol. The bar under each mRNA indicates the length and the locations of edited sites (in red). Significance testing was performed by Student’s t-test. n = 3, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
