Ring Completion of Rig Categories
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we offer a solution to the long-standing problem of group completing within the context of rig categories (also known as bimonoidal categories). More precisely, given a rig category R we construct a natural additive group completion R̄ of R that retains the multiplicative structure, meaning that it remains a rig category. In other words, it has become a ring category. If we start with a commutative rig category R (also known as a symmetric bimonoidal category), the additive group completion R̄ can be taken to be a commutative rig category. In an accompanying paper we show how this can be used to prove the conjecture from [BDR] that K(ku) is the K-theory of the rig category of complex vector spaces.

Mechanism of TRIM25 Catalytic Activation in the Antiviral RIG-I Pathway
Antiviral response pathways induce interferon by higher-order assembly of signaling complexes called signalosomes. Assembly of the RIG-I signalosome is regulated by K63-linked polyubiquitin chains, which are synthesized by the E3 ubiquitin ligase, TRIM25. We have previously shown that the TRIM25 coiled-coil domain is a stable, antiparallel dimer that positions two catalytic RING domains on oppo...
متن کاملAn objective representation of the Gaussian integers
A rig is a ring without negatives. We analyse the free rig on a generator x subject to the equivalence x ∼ 1 + x+ x, showing that in it the non-constant polynomials form a ring. This ring can be identified with the Gaussian integers, which thus acquire objective meaning.
متن کاملREUL Is a Novel E3 Ubiquitin Ligase and Stimulator of Retinoic-Acid-Inducible Gene-I
RIG-I and MDA5 are cytoplasmic sensors that recognize different species of viral RNAs, leads to activation of the transcription factors IRF3 and NF-kappaB, which collaborate to induce type I interferons. In this study, we identified REUL, a RING-finger protein, as a specific RIG-I-interacting protein. REUL was associated with RIG-I, but not MDA5, through its PRY and SPRY domains. Overexpression...
متن کاملA∞ Structures on Some Spectra Related to Morava K-theories
Let p denote an odd prime. We show that the spectrum [ E(n), the In-adic completion of Johnson and Wilson’s E(n), admits a unique topological A∞ structure compatible with its canonical ring spectrum structure. Furthermore, the canonical morphism of ring spectra [ E(n) −→ K(n) admits an A∞ structure whichever of the uncountably many A∞ structures of A. Robinson is imposed upon K(n), the n th Mor...
متن کاملRNF123 has an E3 ligase-independent function in RIG-I-like receptor-mediated antiviral signaling.
Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) and melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) are cytoplasmic sensors crucial for recognizing different species of viral RNAs, which triggers the production of type I interferons (IFNs) and inflammatory cytokines. Here, we identify RING finger protein 123 (RNF123) as a negative regulator of RIG-I and MDA5. Overexpression of RNF123 inhibits IFN-β pr...
