Repeated MDA5 Gene Loss in Birds: An Evolutionary Perspective

Repeated MDA5 Gene Loss in Birds: An Evolutionary Perspective

Two key cytosolic receptors belonging to the retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptor (RLR) family sense the viral RNA-derived danger signals: RIG-I and melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5). Their activation establishes an antiviral state by downstream signaling that ulti...
