Adenosine to inosine editing by ADAR2 requires formation of a ternary complex on the GluR-B R/G site [PDF]
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.

New insights into the biological role of mammalian ADARs; the RNA editing proteins [PDF]
The ADAR proteins deaminate adenosine to inosine in double-stranded RNA which is one of the most abundant modifications present in mammalian RNA.

Modulation of RNA editing by functional nucleolar sequestration of ADAR2 [PDF]
The adenosine deaminases that act on RNA (ADARs) catalyze the site-specific conversion of adenosine to inosine (A to I) in primary mRNA transcripts, thereby affecting the splicing pattern or coding potential of mature mRNAs. Although the subnuclear localization of A-to-I editing has not been precisely defined, ADARs have been shown to act before ...

Reciprocal regulation of A-to-I RNA editing and the vertebrate nervous system [PDF]
The fine control of molecules mediating communication in the nervous system is key to adjusting neuronal signaling during development and in maintaining the stability of established networks in the face of altered sensory input.

Steric antisense inhibition of AMPA receptor Q/R editing reveals tight coupling to intronic editing sites and splicing [PDF]
Adenosine-to-Inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing is a post-transcriptional mechanism, evolved to diversify the transcriptome in metazoa. In addition to wide-spread editing in non-coding regions protein recoding by RNA editing allows for fine tuning of protein ...

Exercise-Induced ADAR2 Protects against Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease through miR-34a
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a growing health problem that is closely associated with insulin resistance and hereditary susceptibility. Exercise is a beneficial approach to NAFLD. However, the relief mechanism of exercise training is still unknown.

DNA editing in DNA/RNA hybrids by adenosine deaminases that act on RNA. [PDF]
Adenosine deaminases that act on RNA (ADARs) carry out adenosine (A) to inosine (I) editing reactions with a known requirement for duplex RNA. Here, we show that ADARs also react with DNA/RNA hybrid duplexes.

SRSF9 selectively represses ADAR2-mediated editing of brain-specific sites in primates [PDF]
Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing displays diverse spatial patterns across different tissues. However, the human genome encodes only two catalytically active editing enzymes (ADAR1 and ADAR2), suggesting that other regulatory factors help shape the editing landscape.

ADAR2-mediated Q/R editing of GluA2 in homeostatic synaptic plasticity. [PDF]
Homeostatic synaptic plasticity is a negative feedback mechanism through which neurons modify their synaptic strength to counteract chronic increases or decreases in activity. In response to activity deprivation, synaptic strength is enhanced by increasing the number of AMPA receptors (AMPARs), particularly Ca 2 ...
