Mechanisms of length-dependent recognition of viral double-stranded RNA by RIG-I

Abstract Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) is the most front-line cytoplasmic viral RNA sensor and induces antiviral immune responses. RIG-I recognizes short double-stranded (dsRNA) (< 500 bp), but not long dsRNA (> 500 bp) to trigger antiviral signaling. Since RIG-I is capable of binding...
