5’ cap sequestration is required for sensing of unspliced HIV-1 RNA by MDA5
2025-08-25
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Heterogenous transcription start site (TSS) usage dictates the structure and function of unspliced HIV-1 RNAs (usRNA). We and others have previously reported that expression and Rev/CRM1-mediated nuclear export of HIV-1 usRNA in macrophages activates MDA5, MAVS, and innate immune signaling cascades. In this study, we reveal that MDA5 sensing of viral usRNA is strictly determined by TSS, 5’ leade...
