MDA5-filament, dynamics and disease.

چکیده
Melanoma Differentiation-Associated gene 5 (MDA5), encoded by the gene IFIH1, is a cytoplasmic sensor for viral double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs). MDA5 activates the type I interferon signaling pathway upon detection of long viral dsRNA generated during replication of picornaviruses. Studies have shown that MDA5 forms a filament along the length of dsRNA and utilizes ATP-dependent filament dynamics to discriminate between self versus non-self on the basis of dsRNA length. This review summarizes our current understanding of how the MDA5 filament assembles and disassembles, how this filament dynamics are utilized in dsRNA length-dependent signaling, and how dysregulated filament dynamics lead to pathogenesis of immune disorders.

Cooperative assembly and dynamic disassembly of MDA5 filaments for viral dsRNA recognition.
MDA5, an RIG-I-like helicase, is a conserved cytoplasmic viral RNA sensor, which recognizes dsRNA from a wide-range of viruses in a length-dependent manner. It has been proposed that MDA5 forms higher-order structures upon viral dsRNA recognition or during antiviral signaling, however the organization and nature of this proposed oligomeric state is unknown. We report here that MDA5 cooperativel...
متن کاملStructural Basis for dsRNA Recognition, Filament Formation, and Antiviral Signal Activation by MDA5
MDA5, a viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) receptor, shares sequence similarity and signaling pathways with RIG-I yet plays essential functions in antiviral immunity through distinct specificity for viral RNA. Revealing the molecular basis for the functional divergence, we report here the crystal structure of MDA5 bound to dsRNA, which shows how, using the same domain architecture, MDA5 recogniz...
متن کاملMDA5 assembles into a polar helical filament on dsRNA.
Melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5) detects viral dsRNA in the cytoplasm. On binding of RNA, MDA5 forms polymers, which trigger assembly of the signaling adaptor mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS) into its active fibril form. The molecular mechanism of MDA5 signaling is not well understood, however. Here we show that MDA5 forms helical filaments on dsRNA and repor...
متن کاملRIG-I forms signaling-competent filaments in an ATP-dependent, ubiquitin-independent manner.
Retinoic acid-inducible gene 1 (RIG-I) and melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5) are paralogous receptors for viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) with divergent specificity. We have previously shown that MDA5 forms filaments upon viral dsRNA recognition and that this filament formation is essential for interferon signal activation. Here, we show that while RIG-I binds to a dsRNA en...
متن کاملHow RIG-I like receptors activate MAVS.
RIG-I and MDA5 are well-conserved cytoplasmic pattern recognition receptors that detect viral RNAs during infection and activate the type I interferon (IFN)-mediated antiviral immune response. While much is known about how these receptors recognize viral RNAs, how they interact with their common signaling adaptor molecule MAVS and activate the downstream signaling pathway had been less clear. P...
