Abstract excerpt
The innate immune sensor retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) detects cytosolic viral RNA and requires a conformational change caused by both ATP and RNA binding to induce an active signaling state and to trigger an immune response. Previously, we showed that ATP hydrolysis removes RIG-I from lower-affinity self-RNAs (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib19">Lässig et al., 2015</xref>), revealing how ATP turnover...
