Structure of ADAR2 dsRBM2
Structural highlights
Function[RED1_RAT] 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 GRIK2) and serotonin (HTR2C), GABA receptor (GABRA3) and potassium voltage-gated channel (KCNA1). Site-specific RNA editing of transcripts encoding these proteins results in amino acid substitutions which consequently alter their functional activities. Edits GRIA2 at both the Q/R and R/G sites efficiently but converts the adenosine in hotspot1 much less efficiently (By similarity). Can inhibit cell proliferation and migration and can stimulate exocytosis.[1] [2] [3] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedAdenosine deaminases that act on RNA (ADARs) site-selectively modify adenosines to inosines within RNA transcripts, thereby recoding genomic information. How ADARs select specific adenosine moieties for deamination is poorly understood. Here, we report NMR structures of the two double-stranded RNA binding motifs (dsRBMs) of rat ADAR2 and an NMR chemical shift perturbation study of the interaction of the two dsRBMs with a 71 nucleotide RNA encoding the R/G site of the GluR-B. We have identified the protein and the RNA surfaces involved in complex formation, allowing us to present an NMR-based model of the complex. We have found that dsRBM1 recognizes a conserved pentaloop, whereas dsRBM2 recognizes two bulged bases adjacent to the editing site, demonstrating RNA structure-dependent recognition by the ADAR2 dsRBMs. In vitro mutagenesis studies with both the protein and the RNA further support our structural findings.
