Functions of the two zebrafish MAVS variants are opposite in the induction of IFN1 by targeting IRF7.

Abstract excerpt

IFNs create the first line of host cells to defense viral infection, however, unrestricted expression of IFN can be hazardous to the host. IRF7 is the master regulator of type I IFN expression. To our knowledge, non research about the inhibition of IFN expression by targeting IRF7 has been reported in fish. In this study, we reported that the splicing variant of wildtype MAVS (MAVS_tv1), MAVS_tv2, negatively...
