Nucleotide sequences and modifications that determine RIG-I/RNA binding and signaling activities

Cytoplasmic viral RNAs with 5' triphosphates (5'ppp) are detected by the RNA helicase RIG-I, initiating downstream signaling and alpha/beta interferon (IFN-α/β) expression that establish an antiviral state. We demonstrate here that the hepatitis C virus (HCV) 3' untranslated region (U...
