How do ADARs bind RNA? New protein‐RNA structures illuminate substrate recognition by the RNA editing ADARs

Abstract excerpt

Deamination of adenosine in RNA to form inosine has wide ranging consequences on RNA function including amino acid substitution to give proteins not encoded in the genome. What determines which adenosines in an mRNA are subject to this modification reaction? The answer lies in an understanding of the mechanism and substrate recognition properties of adenosine deaminases that act on RNA (ADARs). Our recent...
