The origin of the ADAR gene family and animal RNA editing. [PDF]
ADAR (adenosine deaminase acting on RNA) proteins convert adenosine into inosine in double-stranded RNAs and have been shown to increase gene product diversity in a number of bilaterians, particularly mammals and flies. This enzyme family appears to have evolved from an ADAT (adenosine deaminase acting on tRNA) ancestor, via the addition of a double ...

ADAR Regulates RNA Editing, Transcript Stability, and Gene Expression
Adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs) convert adenosine to inosine, which is then recognized as guanosine. To study the role of ADAR proteins in RNA editing and gene regulation, we sequenced and compared the DNA and RNA of human B cells.

Unveiling RNA Editing by ADAR and APOBEC Protein Gene Families
RNA editing is a crucial post-transcriptional modification that alters the transcriptome and proteome and affects many cellular processes, including splicing, microRNA specificity, stability of RNA molecules, and protein structure.

Seven novel mutations of theADAR gene in Chinese families and sporadic patients with dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH) [PDF]
Dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH) is an autosomal dominant pigmentary genodermatosis characterized by hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules of on the extremities and caused by the mutations in the ADAR gene(also called DSRAD) encoding for RNA-specific adenosine deaminase.

Autorecoding A-to-I RNA editing sites in the Adar gene underwent compensatory gains and losses in major insect clades. [PDF]
As one of the most prevalent RNA modifications in animals, adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing facilitates the environmental adaptation of organisms by diversifying the proteome in a temporal–spatial manner. In flies and bees, the editing enzyme Adar has independently gained two different autorecoding sites that form an autofeedback loop ...

ADAR1 haploinsufficiency and sustained picornaviral RdRp dsRNA synthesis synergize to dysregulate RNA editing and cause multi-system interferonopathy [PDF]
Sensing of viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) by MDA5 triggers abundant but transient interferon-stimulated gene (ISGs) expression. If dsRNA synthesis is made persistent by transgenically expressing a picornaviral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) in ...
