Sequestration and protection of double-stranded RNA by the betanodavirus b2 protein.
Betanodavirus B2 belongs to a group of functionally related proteins from the sense-strand RNA virus family Nodaviridae that suppress cellular RNA interference. The B2 proteins of insect alphanodaviruses block RNA interference by binding to double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), thus preventing Dicer-mediated cleavage and the subsequent generation of short interfering RNAs. We show here that the fish bet...
متن کاملInterferon, double-stranded RNA, and protein phosphorylation.
We reported earlier that the addition of double-stranded RNA and ATP increases the endonuclease activity more in an extract of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells which have been treated with an interferon preparation than in a comparable extract from control cells. We report here that the addition of double-stranded RNA to an extract from Ehrlich ascites tumor cells which have been treated with an int...

متن کاملA new double-stranded RNA binding protein (DRBP-120) is associated with double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR).
Double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR) plays an important role in interferon-induced antiviral responses, and is also involved in intracellular signaling pathways, including the apoptosis, proliferation, and transcription pathways. In this study, a new 120-kDa PKR-associated protein designated double-stranded RNA binding protein (DRBP)-120 was identified using co-immunoprecipitation...
متن کاملMaturation, Activation, and Protection of Dendritic Cells Induced by Double-stranded RNA
The initiation of an immune response is critically dependent on the activation of dendritic cells (DCs). This process is triggered by surface receptors specific for inflammatory cytokines or for conserved patterns characteristic of infectious agents. Here we show that human DCs are activated by influenza virus infection and by double-stranded (ds)RNA. This activation results not only in increas...
