Relevance to Autism
A dysfunctional isoform of ADARB1, which results from alternative skipping of the exon harboring two double-stranded RNA-binding domains, was found more frequently in postmortem cerebella from individuals with autism (Eran et al., 2012). This suggests that A-to-I editing of synaptic genes by ADARB1 may be informative for assessing the epigenetic risk for ASD.
Molecular Function
Editing of the messenger RNAs for glutamate receptor (GluR) subunits by site-selective adenosine deamination. Edits both the GluR-B Q/R and R/G sites efficiently but converts the adenosine in hotspot1 much less efficiently.
