Molecular basis of autoimmune disease protection by MDA5 variants
2024-10-03
Abstract excerpt
MDA5 recognizes dsRNA from viruses and retroelements. Cooperative filament formation and ATP-dependent proofreading confer MDA5 with the necessary sensitivity and specificity for dsRNA. The gene encoding MDA5 is a hotspot for disease-associated variants. Many MDA5 variants are associated with protection from autoimmune disease, while increasing the risk of infection and chronic inflammation, but how these variants...
