Impact of Disease-Associated Mutations on the Deaminase Activity of ADAR1.

Abstract excerpt

The innate immune system relies on molecular sensors to detect distinctive molecular patterns, including viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which triggers responses resulting in apoptosis and immune infiltration. Adenosine Deaminases Acting on RNA (ADARs) catalyze the deamination of adenosine (A) to inosine (I), serving as a mechanism to distinguish self from non-self RNA and prevent aberrant immune activation....
