Abstract excerpt
Double-stranded RNA-induced antiviral gene expression in mammalian cells requires activation of IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3). In this study, we show that the IL-17R adaptor protein Act1/CIKS is involved in this process. Small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of Act1 in primary human skin fibroblasts specifically attenuates expression of IFN-β and IFN-stimulated antiviral genes induced by a synthetic viral...
