Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing leads to a similar effect to A-to-G mutations. RNA editing provides a temporo-spatial flexibility for organisms. Nonsynonymous (Nonsyn) RNA editing in insects is over-represented compared with synonymous (Syn) editing, suggesting adaptive signals of positive selection on Nonsyn editing during evolution. We utilized the brain RNA editome of Drosophila melanogaster to systematically study the LD (r2) between editing sites and infer its impact on the adaptive signals of RNA editing. Pairs of editing sites (PESs) were identified from the transcriptome. For CDS PESs of two consecutive editing sites, their occurrence was significantly biased to type-3 PES (Syn-Nonsyn). The haplotype frequency of type-3 PES exhibited a significantly higher abundance of AG than GA, indicating that the rear Nonsyn site is the driver that promotes the editing of the front Syn site (passenger). The exclusion of passenger Syn sites dramatically amplifies the adaptive signal of Nonsyn RNA editing. Our study for the first time quantitatively demonstrates that the linkage between RNA editing events comes from hitchhiking effects and leads to the underestimation of adaptive signals for Nonsyn editing. Our work provides novel insights for studying the evolutionary significance of RNA editing events.
