Elevated levels of intracellular RNA lariats suppress the antiviral response
2024-12-08
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Recent studies report the genetic loss of the lariat debranching enzyme ( DBR1 ) activity increases susceptibility to viral infection. Here, we show that more than 25% of human introns contain large hairpin structures created by the folding of two Alu elements inserted in opposite orientation. In wildtype cells, this large reservoir of endogenous dsRNA is efficiently degraded. In DBR1 -null ce...
