Genetic Reinstatement of RIG-I in Chickens Reveals Insights into Avian Immune Evolution and Influenza Interaction

2023-11-02

Abstract excerpt

Retinoic acid-inducible gene I ( RIG-I ) activates mitochondrial antiviral signaling proteins, initiating the antiviral response. RIG-I and RNF135 , a ubiquitin ligase regulator, are missing in domestic chickens but conserved in mallard ducks. The chickens’ RIG-I loss was long believed to be linked to increased avian influenza susceptibility. We reinstated both genes in chickens and examined their susceptibili...
