Abstract
A double-stranded RNA unwinding and modifying activity was found to be present in a wide range of tissues and cell types. The level of activity did not vary significantly with respect to the state of cell differentiation, cell cycle, or transformation. Thus, the unwinding and modifying activity, localized in the nucleus in somatic cells and capable of converting many adenosine residues to inosine, appears to be one of the housekeeping genes.This publication has 26 references indexed in Scilit:
