The Unusual Role of Ribonuclease L in Innate Immunity
1 Nov 2024
Abstract excerpt
Ribonuclease L is an endonuclease that is activated as part of the dsRNA-driven innate immune response. Active RNase L cleaves pathogenic RNAs as a way to eliminate infections. However, there are additional and unexpected ways that RNase L causes changes in the host that promote an immune response and contribute to its role in host defense. Central to these unconventional mechanisms is the observation that RNase...
