Identification of tyrosine-9 of MAVS as critical target for inducible phosphorylation that determines activation.

BACKGROUND: Innate immunity to viruses involves receptors such as RIG-I, which senses viral RNA and triggers an IFN-β signaling pathway involving the outer mitochondrial membrane protein MAVS. However, the functional status of MAVS phosphorylation remains elusive. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Her...
