Journal ArticleDOI

The RNA helicase RIG-I has an essential function in double-stranded RNA-induced innate antiviral responses.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify retinoic acid inducible gene I (RIG-I), which encodes a DExD/H box RNA helicase that contains a caspase recruitment domain, as an essential regulator for dsRNA-induced signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

DAI (DLM-1/ZBP1) is a cytosolic DNA sensor and an activator of innate immune response

TL;DR: The artificial expression of otherwise IFN-inducible DAI (DLM-1/ZBP1) in mouse fibroblasts selectively enhances the DNA-mediated induction of type I IFN and other genes involved in innate immunity, and may offer new insight into the signalling mechanisms underlying DNA-associated antimicrobial immunity and autoimmune disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

U6 promoter-driven siRNAs with four uridine 3' overhangs efficiently suppress targeted gene expression in mammalian cells

TL;DR: A vector-based siRNA expression system that can induce RNAi in mammalian cells is reported, which might allow therapeutic applications by means of vector-mediated RNAi and facilitate a wide range of functional analysis of mammalian genes.
