To translate, or not to translate: viral and host mRNA regulation by interferon-stimulated genes. [PDF]
, 2015 Type I interferon (IFN) is one of the first lines of cellular defense against viral pathogens. As a result of IFN signaling, a wide array of IFN-stimulated gene (ISG) products is upregulated to target different stages of the viral life cycle.

ADAR1 prevents autoinflammation by suppressing spontaneous ZBP1 activation
Nature, 2022 The RNA-editing enzyme adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) limits the accumulation of endogenous immunostimulatory double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)1. In humans, reduced ADAR1 activity causes the severe inflammatory disease Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS)2. In mice, complete loss of ADAR1 activity is embryonically lethal3-6, and mutations similar to

ADAR1 isoform involvement in embryonic lethality [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 Letters to the editor recently published in PNAS (1, 2) challenged and defended a claim made on a recent article (3). Matthaei et al. (1) questioned whether the animal model used by Ward et al. (3) was adequate to support their claim that the P150 isoform of the RNA editing enzyme adenosine deaminase 1 (ADAR1) is required for embryogenesis.

Adenosine to inosine editing by ADAR2 requires formation of a ternary complex on the GluR-B R/G site [PDF]
, 2002 RNA editing by members of the ADAR (adenosine deaminase that acts on RNA) enzyme family involves hydrolytic deamination of adenosine to inosine within the context of a double-stranded pre-mRNA substrate.

An essential role of adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1 in coeliac disease mucosa
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Background and aimType I interferons (IFNs) are highly expressed in the gut mucosa of celiac disease (CD) gut mucosa and stimulates immune response prompted by gluten ingestion, but the processes that maintain the production of these inflammatory ...

Structural basis for Z-DNA binding and stabilization by the zebrafish Z-DNA dependent protein kinase PKZ [PDF]
, 2013 The RNA-dependent protein kinase PKR plays a central role in the antiviral defense of vertebrates by shutting down protein translation upon detection of viral dsRNA in the cytoplasm. In some teleost fish, PKZ, a homolog of PKR, performs the same function,
