Abstract excerpt
Double-stranded (ds) RNA, a common product of viral infection, can induce transcription of many cellular genes, including the 561 gene that encodes P56, a regulator of protein synthesis. Here, we report that induction of the 561 mRNA by exogenous dsRNA is mediated by Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), and it requires no new protein synthesis. Because gene induction by dsRNA is blocked by inhibitors of tyrosine kinases,...
