Abstract:
Proteiny ADAR jsou enzymy vážící dvouvláknovou RNA (dsRNA), které jsou nejlépe známé svou schopností katalyzovat editaci RNA typu adenosin-na-inosin (A-to-I). Stále více důkazů však podporuje také jejich další, na editaci nezávislé role v regulaci genové exprese a vrozené imunity. Tato práce se zabývá novými regulačními mechanismy proteinů ADAR u Drosophila melanogaster a v lidských buňkách. První …moreAbstract:
ADAR proteins are dsRNA-binding enzymes best known for catalyzing adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing, but increasing evidence supports additional editing-independent roles in gene regulation and innate immunity. This thesis investigates novel regulatory mechanisms of ADAR proteins in Drosophila melanogaster and human cells. The first part identifies an editing-independent function of Drosophila AdarG …more
