A range must span over two (or more) lines.
With a status variable it may end on the same line:
Code:
awk '/Umbist_reverse_inst/ {r=1}; r {gsub(/\(\)/,"")}; /\);/ {r=0}; 1' list
If the start pattern is found then set the status variable r. If set then do the replacements. If the end pattern is found then clear the status variable.
