Recognition of non-CpG repeats in Alu and ribosomal RNAs by the Z-RNA binding domain of ADAR1 induces A-Z junctions
ADAR1 is an interferon-induced enzyme that catalyzes editing of adenine to inosine across the transcriptome as part of the immune response. Here the authors establish how ADAR1 recognizes non-CpG RNA sequences to facilitate the formation of A-Z junctions.
