ADAD1 and ADAD2, testis-specific adenosine deaminase domain-containing proteins, are required for male fertility

Abstract Adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing, a fundamental RNA modification, is regulated by adenosine deaminase (AD) domain containing proteins. Within the testis, RNA editing is catalyzed by ADARB1 and is regulated in a cell-type dependent manner. This study examined the role of two testis-specific...
