Affect-related behaviors in mice misexpressing the RNA editing enzyme ADAR2 [PDF]
Misediting of the serotonin (5HT) 2C receptor (5HT(2C)R) has been implicated in both depression and anxiety. The adenosine deaminases that act on double stranded RNAs (ADARs) are reported to modify the 5HT(2C)R by RNA editing. Transgenic mice misexpressing the RNA editing enzyme ADAR2 show an adult onset obese phenotype due to chronic hyperphagia, but ...

Profound downregulation of the RNA editing enzyme ADAR2 in ALS spinal motor neurons
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common adult-onset fatal motor neuron disease. In spinal motor neurons of patients with sporadic ALS, normal RNA editing of GluA2, a subunit of the L-α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid ...

ADAR-mediated RNA editing of DNA:RNA hybrids is required for DNA double strand break repair
Different roles of specific RNA-related factors in DNA repair have now been reported. Here the authors reveal a role for RNA-editing by ADAR in DNA end resection following double strand break formation and a change in pattern of ADAR2-mediated A-to-I ...

Requirement of the RNA-editing Enzyme ADAR2 for Normal Physiology in Mice [PDF]
ADAR2, an RNA editing enzyme that converts specific adenosines to inosines in certain pre-mRNAs, often leading to amino acid substitutions in the encoded proteins, is mainly expressed in brain. Of all ADAR2-mediated edits, a single one in the pre-mRNA of the AMPA receptor subunit GluA2 is essential for survival.

The majority of A-to-I RNA editing is not required for mammalian homeostasis
Background Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing, mediated by ADAR1 and ADAR2, occurs at tens of thousands to millions of sites across mammalian transcriptomes.

Core binding factor fusion downregulation of ADAR2 RNA editing contributes to AML leukemogenesis
Adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing, which is catalyzed by adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADAR) family of enzymes ADAR1 and ADAR2, has been shown to contribute to multiple cancers. However, other than chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) blast crisis, relatively little is known about its role in other types of hematological malignancies.

Ethanol Preference and Drinking Behavior Are Controlled by RNA Editing in the Nucleus Accumbens
RNA editing plays critical roles in normal brain function, and alteration of its activity causes various disorders. We previously found that chronic consumption of ethanol was associated with increased levels of RNA editing of serotonin 2C receptor in ...

ABSTRACT CRISPR‐Cas9 systems revolutionized gene editing, but inherent drawbacks, namely DNA double‐strand breaks (DSBs) and the difficulty of achieving precise repairs (due to low HDR efficiency), led researchers to invent new, more accurate gene editing tools.
