Multiple truncated isoforms of MAVS prevent its spontaneous aggregation in antiviral innate immune signalling
13 Jun 2017
Abstract excerpt
In response to virus infection, RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) sense virus RNA and induce MAVS to form prion-like aggregates to further propagate antiviral signalling. Although monomeric MAVS recombinant protein can assemble into prion-like filaments spontaneously in vitro, endogenous MAVS in cells is prevented from aggregation until viral infection. The mechanism preventing cellular MAVS from spontaneous...
