Journal ArticleDOI

An orthogonal proteomic-genomic screen identifies AIM2 as a cytoplasmic DNA sensor for the inflammasome

TL;DR: A systematic proteomics screen for proteins that associate with DNA, 'crossed' to a screen for transcripts induced by interferon-β identified AIM2 as a candidate cytoplasmic DNA sensor for the inflammasome, which showed specificity for double-stranded DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Peroxisomes are signaling platforms for antiviral innate immunity

TL;DR: It is reported that the RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) adaptor protein MAVS is located on peroxisomes and mitochondria and it is found thatperoxisomal and mitochondrial MAVS act sequentially to create an antiviral cellular state.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diverse intracellular pathogens activate type III interferon expression from peroxisomes

TL;DR: It is revealed that the process of intestinal epithelial cell differentiation upregulates peroxisome biogenesis and promotes robust type III interferon responses in human cells, highlighting the importance of different intracellular organelles in specific innate immune responses.

Diverse intracellular pathogens activate type III interferon expression from peroxisomes

TL;DR: The authors found that RIG-I like receptors (RLRs) induce type III interferon expression in a variety of human cell types, and identified factors that differentially regulate expression of type I and type 3 interferons.
Book ChapterDOI

Intracellular pathogen detection by RIG-I-like receptors.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the molecular and cell biological requirements for RLR signal transduction.
