ADAR2 Is Involved in Self and Nonself Recognition of Borna Disease Virus Genomic RNA in the Nucleus

Abstract excerpt

Cells use the editing activity of adenosine deaminase acting on RNA proteins (ADARs) to prevent autoimmune responses induced by self dsRNA, but viruses can exploit this process to their advantage. Borna disease virus (BoDV), a nuclear-replicating RNA virus, must escape nonself RNA sensing by the host to establish persistent infection in the nucleus. We evaluated whether BoDV utilizes ADARs to prevent innate...
