Enhancement of Replication of RNA Viruses by ADAR1 via RNA Editing and Inhibition of RNA-Activated Protein Kinase
14 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
Adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) is a double-stranded RNA binding protein and RNA-editing enzyme that modifies cellular and viral RNAs, including coding and noncoding RNAs. This interferon (IFN)-induced protein was expected to have an antiviral role, but recent studies have demonstrated that it promotes the replication of many RNA viruses. The data from these experiments show that ADAR1 directly...
