Sysname
double-stranded RNA adenine aminohydrolase
Reaction(IUBMB)
adenine in double-stranded RNA + H2O = hypoxanthine in double-stranded RNA + NH3
Substrate
adenine in double-stranded RNA;
H2O [CPD:
C00001 ]
Product
hypoxanthine in double-stranded RNA;
NH3 [CPD:
C00014 ]
Comment
This eukaryotic enzyme is involved in RNA editing. It destabilizes double-stranded RNA through conversion of adenosine to inosine. Inositol hexakisphosphate is required for activity [4].
