Mutations in the adenosine-to-inosine RNA-editing enzyme ADAR1 p150, including point mutations in the Z-RNA recognition domain Zα, are associated with Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS). Here, we examined the in vivo relevance of ADAR1 binding of Z-RNA. Mutation of W197 in Zα, which abolished Z-RNA binding, reduced RNA editing. Adar1 mice displayed severe growth retardation after birth, broad expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), and abnormal development of multiple organs. Notably, malformation of the brain was accompanied by white matter vacuolation and gliosis, reminiscent of AGS-associated encephalopathy. Concurrent deletion of the double-stranded RNA sensor MDA5 ameliorated these abnormalitie... More
