Abstract excerpt
Translation of mRNA is usually cytoplasmic. We report that the RNA editing enzyme ADAR1, which catalyzes the deamination of adenosine to inosine in double-stranded RNA substrates, induces translation within the nucleus, possibly at the surface of the nucleolus. This activity does not depend on RNA editing. Two regions within ADAR1 are defined that act independently of each other to induce translation: the first...
