Figure2: RNA editing controls RNA-protein interaction and cellular function.

Figure2:

Cartoon illustrates the effect of adenosine to inosine RNA editing on double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) by the Adenosine Deaminases Acting on RNA (ADARs) enzymes. ADARs deaminate the adenosine residues into inosines, which no longer pair with uracil. This induces a change in RNA secondary structure, which may affect the binding of proteins to RNA molecules and thus may control several aspects of RNA metabolism and cellular function.
