Additionally, ADAR1 modulates miRNA processing in a RNA editing-independent manner by regulating Dicer, an enzyme that cleaves precursor miRNA, thereby promoting the biosynthesis and function of miRNA-149* and negatively correlated with the GSK3a expression in melanoma (Nemlich et al., 2013; Yujie Ding et al., 2020). Here, ADAR is linked to melanoma.
