ABSTRACT Background Adenosine deaminase action on RNA 1 (ADAR1) can convert the adenosine in double‐stranded (dsRNA) molecules into inosine a process known as A‐to‐I editing. ADAR1 regulates gene expression output by interacting with and other proteins; plays important roles development, including growth; is linked to innate immunity, tumors, central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Results In recent years, role of tumors has been widely discussed, but its CNS diseases not reviewed. It worth noting that studies have shown great potential treatment neurodegenerative diseases, mechanisms are still unclear. Therefore, it necessary elaborate Conclusions Here, we focus effects such Aicardi–AicardiGoutières syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's glioblastoma, epilepsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, autism. We also evaluate impact ADAR1‐based strategies these particular development new technologies microRNAs, nanotechnology, editing, stem cell therapy. hope provide directions insights for future editing technology brain science

Alu elements are highly abundant primate-specific short interspersed nuclear that account for ~10% of the human genome. Due to their preferential location in gene-rich regions, especially introns and 3' UTRs, can exert regulatory effects on expression both host neighboring genes. When two with inverse orientations positioned close proximity, transcription results generation distinct double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs), known as inverted repeats (IRAlus). IRAlus key immunogenic self-dsRNAs post-transcriptional cis-regulatory play a role circular RNA biogenesis, well transport stability. Recently, dsRNAs have emerged regulators activators Z-DNA-binding proteins. The formation activity be modulated through editing interactions RNA-binding proteins, misregulation has been implicated several immune-associated disorders. In this review, we summarize emerging functions dsRNAs, mechanisms governing activity, relevance pathogenesis diseases.

Abstract With the advancement of sequencing technologies and bioinformatics, over than 170 different RNA modifications have been identified. However, only a few these can lead to base pair changes, which are called editing. editing is ubiquitous modification in mammalian transcriptomes an important co/posttranscriptional that plays crucial role various cellular processes. There two main types events: adenosine inosine (A-to-I) editing, catalyzed by ADARs on double-stranded or ADATs tRNA, cytosine uridine (C-to-U) APOBECs. This article provides overview structure, function, applications enzymes. We discuss structural characteristics three enzyme families their catalytic mechanisms also explain biological particularly innate immunity, cancer biogenesis, antiviral activity. Additionally, this describes tools for manipulating correct disease-causing mutations, as well potential enzymes field biotechnology therapy.

Adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) converts adenosine to inosine in double-stranded (dsRNA) molecules, a process known as A-to-I editing. ADAR1 deficiency humans and mice results profound inflammatory diseases characterised by the spontaneous induction of innate immunity. In cells lacking ADAR1, unedited RNAs activate sensors. These include melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) that induces expression cytokines, particularly type I interferons (IFNs), protein kinase R (PKR), oligoadenylate synthase (OAS), Z-DNA/RNA binding (ZBP1). Immunogenic 'defused' may transcripts from repetitive elements other long duplex RNAs. Here, we review these recent fundamental discoveries discuss implications for human diseases. Some tumours depend escape immune surveillance, opening possibility unleashing anticancer therapies with inhibitors.

Adar null mutant mouse embryos die with aberrant double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-driven interferon induction, and Mavs double mutants, in which induction is prevented, soon after birth. Protein kinase R (Pkr) aberrantly activated pup intestines before death, intestinal crypt cells die, villi are lost. Eifak2 triple mice rescue all defects have long-term survival. Adenosine deaminase acting on 1 (ADAR1) PKR co-immunoprecipitate from cells, suggesting inhibition by direct interaction. AlphaFold studies an inhibitory dsRNA binding domain (dsRBD)-kinase interaction ADAR1 dsRBD3-PKR provide a testable model of the inhibition. Wild-type or editing-inactive human expressed A549 inhibits activation endogenous PKR. required for, but not sufficient Mutating contact prevents co-immunoprecipitation, activity, co-localization cells.
