RNA modification of an RNA modifier prevents self-RNA sensing.

Journal Article (Journal Article)

A new study in PLOS Biology finds that interferon (IFN)-induced adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) mRNA is N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modified to promote its translation, enabling ADAR1 to modify self-double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) generated during the IFN response and preventing activation of the melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5)-mediated host antiviral response.
