Abstract excerpt
Deamination of adenosines within mRNAs catalyzed by ADAR enzymes generates inosines at the corresponding nucleotide positions. Since inosine is decoded as guanosine, this reaction can lead to codon changes and the introduction of amino acids into a gene product not encoded in the gene. Translation of the different coding strands created by this process leads to protein structural diversity in the parent organism...
