Abstract excerpt
The first line of defense against invading pathogens usually relies on innate immune systems. In this context, the recognition of exogenous RNA structures is primordial to fight, notably, against RNA viruses. One of the most efficient immune response pathways is based on the sensing of RNA double helical motifs by the oligoadenylate synthase (OAS) proteins, which in turn triggers the activity of RNase L and,...
