Ancient Origins of Vertebrate-Specific Innate Antiviral Immunity
Animals deploy various molecular sensors to detect pathogen infections. RIG-like receptor (RLR) proteins identify viral RNAs and initiate innate immune responses. The three human RLRs recognize different types of RNA molecules and protect against different viral pathogens. The RLR protein family is widely thought to have originated shortly before the emergence of vertebrates and rapidly diversi...
متن کاملTracing the ancient origins of plant innate immunity.
Resistance to pathogens is one of the most ancient traits; mechanisms for discriminating self from non-self have evolved to accomplish this task. Animal and plant immune systems use a set of similar receptors to recognize pathogens. These receptors are located either at the cell surface or inside the cell. Kinases modulate further signalling and are either associated to the receptors or are par...
متن کاملMitochondria and antiviral innate immunity.
Mitochondria, dynamic organelles that undergo continuous cycles of fusion and fission, are the powerhouses of eukaryotic cells. Recent research indicates that mitochondria also act as platforms for antiviral immunity in vertebrates. Mitochondrial-mediated antiviral immunity depends on activation of the retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptors signal transduction pathway and the par...
متن کاملMAVS Coordination of Antiviral Innate Immunity.
RNA virus infection is sensed in the cytoplasm by the retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptors. These proteins signal through the host adaptor protein MAVS to trigger the antiviral innate immune response. Here, we describe how MAVS subcellular localization impacts its function and the regulation underlying MAVS signaling. We propose a model to describe how the coordination of MAVS ...
