Interchromosomal Huddle Kickstarts Antiviral Defense
Long-distance chromosomal interactions are emerging as a potential mechanism of gene expression control. In this issue, Apostolou and Thanos (2008) describe how viral infection elicits interchromosomal associations between the interferon-beta (IFN-beta) gene enhancer and DNA binding sites of the transcription factor NF-kappaB, resulting in the initiation of transcription and an antiviral response.
متن کاملAntiviral Defense in Plants
RNA silencing is a conserved pathway and it may result in gene expression blockage in eukaryotic organisms. RNA silencing is also part of a highly adaptable immune system response against viruses in plants and animals. It is generally thought that virus-induced RNA silencing is that double-stranded replicative intermediates of RNA viruses, and/or double-stranded RNA produced from the viral RNA ...
متن کاملAntiviral defense: interferons and beyond
Mice lacking the adaptor protein that initiates an antiviral response downstream of the RNA helicases retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) and melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) have recently been described. These studies highlight the essential and nonredundant role of nucleic acid recognition in the induction of type I interferon production and raise important questions regar...

saw similar discrimination against youthful proteins when they treated the cells to spur production of reactive oxygen species. Older proteins escaped destruction even though they incurred damage. The results indicate that young proteins pass through a vulnerable stage that lasts around an hour. Folding into shape would probably take a few minutes at most, say the authors. But the proteins migh...
متن کاملRNA interference-mediated antiviral defense in insects
Small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) pathways are critical for the detection and inhibition of RNA virus replication in insects. Recent work has also implicated RNAi pathways in the establishment of persistent virus infections and in the control of DNA virus replication. Accumulating evidence suggests that diverse double-stranded RNAs produced by RNA and DNA viruses ca...
