Catalyzes the hydrolytic deamination of adenosine to inosine in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) referred to as A-to-I RNA editing. This may affect gene expression and function in a number of ways that include mRNA translation by changing codons and hence the amino acid sequence of proteins; pre-mRNA splicing by altering splice site recognition sequences; RNA stability by changing sequences involved in nuclease recognition; genetic stability in the case of RNA virus genomes by changing sequences during viral RNA replication; and RNA structure-dependent activities such as microRNA production or targeting or protein-RNA interactions. Can edit both viral and cellular RNAs and can edit RNAs at multiple sites (hyper-editing) or at specific sites (site-specific editing). Its cellular RNA substrates include: bladder cancer-associated protein (BLCAP), neurotransmitter receptors for glutamate (GRIA2) and serotonin (HTR2C) and GABA receptor (GABRA3). Site-specific RNA editing of transcripts encoding these proteins results in amino acid substitutions which consequently alters their functional activities. Exhibits low-level editing at the GRIA2 Q/R site, but edits efficiently at the R/G site and HOTSPOT1. Does not affect polyomavirus replication but provides protection against virus-induced cytopathic effects. Essential for embryonic development and cell survival and plays a critical role in the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells (By similarity).

ADAR1 also known as RNA-specific adenosine deaminase 1 or ADAR is an enzyme with a mass of approximately 150 kDa. This protein targets double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and acts mechanistically to convert adenosine to inosine in pre-mRNA sequences a process known as A-to-I RNA editing. ADAR1 is expressed in numerous tissues with high levels in the brain liver and lungs. Its localization within cells can vary often found in both the nucleus and cytoplasm which influences its function.
ADAR1 plays a role in the regulation of RNA molecules affecting their stability and translation. It is linked to the editosome complex working alongside other proteins to perform RNA editing tasks. By modifying the coding potential of mRNAs ADAR1 contributes to the diversity of proteomes and helps manage the responses to viral RNAs giving the immune system tools to recognize endogenous and exogenous RNA.
ADAR1 is significant in the interferon signaling pathway and RNA processing pathways. It operates in coordination with proteins like PKR which is involved in the response to viral infections. ADAR1 ensures that the immune response is not directed against the self highlighting its role in the regulation of the innate immune system. These pathways are critical in maintaining homeostasis and preventing unchecked immune responses.
Mutations or dysregulation of ADAR1 have associations with autoimmune diseases like Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome and certain cancers. The enzyme's role in editing RNA makes it essential in preventing inappropriate immune attacks against the body's own cells highlighting its interaction with MDA5 another protein involved in immune regulation. Understanding ADAR1 and its related pathways may offer potential therapeutic targets for these conditions including exploration into ADAR1 inhibitors as interventions.
