| Modification Notes | The innate immune system senses viral infection by recognizing many different viral components and triggering specific antiviral responses. Intracellular double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a major sign of replication for many viruses. Retinoic acid inducible gene I (RIG-I) is a 925 amino acid, interferon-inducible cellular DExD/H box RNA helicase that activates type I interferon (IFN), an important effector of the innate immune system that is sensitive to these dsRNA viruses. dsRNA is normally present in very low quantities in cells, so when a virus is present, the elevated levels of dsRNA act as a sign telling RIG-I to activate the production of IFN. RIG-I does this by using its helicase domain to bind to viral dsRNA, thus transmitting the activation signal for IFN through IkB kinase-related kinases and inducing IFN expression. RIG-I is expressed in the cytoplasm of fibroblasts and conventional dendritic cells and can distinguish between many different RNA viruses. |
