PhD Position, Investigating Regulation of the RNA Modifying Enzyme ADAR1, Masaryk University | CEITEC | Brno | Czech Republic
Posted on February 4, 2020

Investigating the regulation of the RNA modifying enzyme ADAR1 and how it regulates other biological pathways and diseases
Professor Mary O’Connell

Masaryk University | CEITEC | Brno | Czech Republic

Project Description

The ADAR enzymes convert adenosine into inosine in dsRNA. Inosine is one of the most abundant and best studied modifications found in different classes of RNA. Hundreds of millions of positions have been identified within the human transcriptome where inosine can occur. The fact that levels of inosine have been found to increase in the RNAs of many cancers has sparked huge interest in this field. The levels of inosine in RNA have also been shown to profoundly affect activation of innate immunity in cancer, infection, and autoimmune diseases. The goal of this PhD project is to understand how ADAR1 is regulated and it in turn regulates different cellular processes.....read more
