Structural Basis for the Activation of Innate Immune Pattern-Recognition Receptor RIG-I by Viral RNA

TLDR
It is proposed that after initial binding of 5'ppp-dsRNA to the flexibly linked CTD, co-operative tight binding of ATP and RNA to the helicase domain liberates the CARDs for downstream signaling.
