Adar RNA editing-dependent and -independent effects are required for brain and innate immune functions in Drosophila

Human RNA editing enzymes ADAR1 and ADAR2 are required for innate immune functions and neurological functions, respectively. Here, the authors show that Drosophila Adar has both innate immune and brain functions, despite being the homolog of mammalian ADAR2.
