All of them show the same phenotype at E12.5, namely, apoptosis, liver disintegration and elevated immune response triggered via MDA5/MAVS pathway. All the Adar knockout alleles can be rescued by a concomitant deletion of Mavs or Ifih1 (MDA5). However, each of them show a distinct rescued phenotype dependent on the kind of truncation in the Adar allele. Adar?2-13 and Adar?7-9 are used interchangeably as null mice since both of these are devoid of ADAR1 editing. Here, we show that Adar?7-9 can form a truncated, mislocalized and editing deficient protein. We also report an extensive study on the rescued Adar?7-9; Mavs -/-  mice which interestingly show a phenotype different than any phenotype of other rescued alleles. Histology and cytometry analysis indicated defects in multiple tissues of these mice. However, all the studied tissues showed a dysregulation of Rps3a1 and Rps3a3. Consistent with this, they show a distortion in 40S and 60S ribosomal ratio in polysome profiling of liver tissues. This dysregulation is also seen in Adar?2-13; Mavs -/-  but not in AdarE861A/E861A; Ifih1-/-, suggesting editing independent function of ADAR1 in regulating the expression levels of Rps3a1 and Rps3a3.
