Comparative Structure and Function Analysis of the RIG-I-Like Receptors: RIG-I and MDA5

TL;DR: The similarities and differences between RIG-I and MDA5 are discussed from multiple perspectives, including their structures, evolution and functional relationships with other cellular proteins, their differential mechanisms of distinguishing between host and viral dsRNAs and interactions with host and virus protein factors, and their immunogenic signaling.

Species-Specific Deamidation of cGAS by Herpes Simplex Virus UL37 Protein Facilitates Viral Replication.

TL;DR: It is reported that variation of a single amino acid residue in the innate immune sensor cGAS determines species-specific inactivation by HSV-1, and a single asparagine in human and mouse cG AS that is not conserved in many non-human primates is identified.

Differential roles of MDA5 and RIG-I helicases in the recognition of RNA viruses

TL;DR: It is found that RIG-I is essential for the production of interferons in response to RNA viruses including paramyxoviruses, influenza virus and Japanese encephalitis virus, whereas MDA5 is critical for picornavirus detection.

Identification and Characterization of MAVS, a Mitochondrial Antiviral Signaling Protein that Activates NF-κB and IRF3

TL;DR: The identification of a novel protein termed MAVS (mitochondrial antiviral signaling), which mediates the activation of NF-kappaB and IRF 3 in response to viral infection, and implicates a new role of mitochondria in innate immunity.

Recognition of microorganisms and activation of the immune response.

TL;DR: The mammalian immune system has innate and adaptive components, which cooperate to protect the host against microbial infections, and recent progress brings us closer to an integrated view of the immune system and its function in host defence.

IPS-1, an adaptor triggering RIG-I- and Mda5-mediated type I interferon induction

TL;DR: IPS-1 contained an N-terminal CARD-like structure that mediated interaction with the CARD of RIG-I and Mda5, which are cytoplasmic RNA helicases that sense viral infection and blocked interferon induction by virus infection.
