Abstract excerpt
Adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) deaminates adenosine to inosine in dsRNA. ADAR1 RNA editing marks cellular dsRNA as self, preventing aberrant activation of the antiviral dsRNA sensor MDA5. Adar Ifih1 (MDA5) or Adar Mavs double mutant pups escape Adar mutant aberrant interferon induction but die early. Here, we show that long-lived Adar Mavs Eif2ak2 (PKR) mice display a new residual defect: failure to...
