Vibrio vulnificus quorum-sensing molecule cyclo(Phe-Pro) inhibits RIG-I-mediated antiviral innate immunity

Quorum sensing signaling molecules are known to be critical determinants in bacterial pathogenesis. Here the authors show the quorum sensing molecule cFP from Vibrio vulnificus inhibits the RIG-I mediated antiviral interferon response and enhances susceptibility to viral infection.
