MAVS: A Two-Sided CARD Mediating Antiviral Innate Immune Signaling and Regulating Immune Homeostasis

Mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) functions as a “switch” in the immune signal transduction against most RNA viruses. Upon viral infection, MAVS forms prion-like aggregates by receiving the cytosolic RNA sensor retinoic acid-inducible gene I-activated signaling and further activates/s...
