LGP2 plays a critical role in sensitizing mda-5 to activation by double-stranded RNA.

LGP2 plays a critical role in sensitizing mda-5 to activation by double-stranded RNA.

The DExD/H box RNA helicases retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I) and melanoma differentiation associated gene-5 (mda-5) sense viral RNA in the cytoplasm of infected cells and activate signal transduction pathways that trigger the production of type I interferons (IFNs). Laboratory of genetics and...
