Activation of PKR by a short-hairpin RNA
2024-05-10
Abstract excerpt
Recognition of viral infection often relies on the detection of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), a process that is conserved in many different organisms. In mammals, proteins such as MDA5, RIG-I, OAS, and PKR detect viral dsRNA, but struggle to differentiate between viral and endogenous dsRNA. This study investigates an shRNA targeting DDX54’s potential to activate PKR, a key player in the immune response to dsRNA. Kn...
