A-to-I editing of Malacoherpesviridae RNAs supports the antiviral role of ADAR1 in mollusks
Abstract Background Adenosine deaminase enzymes of the ADAR family are conserved in metazoans. They convert adenine into inosine in dsRNAs and thus alter both structural properties and the coding potential of their substrates. Acting on exogenous dsRNAs, ADAR1 exerts a pro- or anti-viral role in ver...
