Viral and cellular double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is recognized by cytosolic innate immune sensors including RIG-I-like receptors. Some cytoplasmic dsRNA is commonly present in cells, and one source is mitochondrial dsRNA, which results from bidirectional transcription of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Here we demonstrate that Trp 53 mutant mouse embryo fibroblasts contain immune-stimulating endogenous dsRNA of mitochondrial origin. We show that the immune response induced by this dsRNA is mediated via RIG-I-like receptors and leads to the expression of type I interferon and proinflammatory cytokine genes. The mitochondrial dsRNA is cleaved by RNase L, which cleaves all cellular RNA including mitochondrial mRNAs, increasing activation of RIG-I-like receptors. When mitochondrial transcription is interrupted there is a subsequent decrease in this immune stimulatory dsRNA.

When activated, it endonucleolytically cleaves both viral and host RNAs, leading to a global reduction in protein synthesis. However, it remains unknown how widespread RNA decay, and consequent changes in the translatome, promote the elimination of viruses. To study how this altered transcriptome is translated, we assayed the global distribution of ribosomes in RNase L activated human cells with ribosome profiling. We found that RNase L activation leads to a substantial increase in the fraction of translating ribosomes in ORFs internal to coding sequences (iORFs) and ORFs within 5’ and 3’ UTRs (uORFs and dORFs).

  • Interferon-Inducible Antiviral Effectors
    REVIEWS Interferon-inducible antiviral effectors Anthony J. Sadler and Bryan R. G. Williams Abstract | Since the discovery of interferons (IFNs), considerable progress has been made in describing the nature of the cytokines themselves, the signalling components that direct the cell response and their antiviral activities. Gene targeting studies have distinguished four main effector pathways of the IFN-mediated antiviral response: the Mx GTPase pathway, the 2′,5′-oligoadenylate-synthetase-directed ribonuclease L pathway, the protein kinase R pathway and the ISG15 ubiquitin-like pathway. As discussed in this Review, these effector pathways individually block viral transcription, degrade viral RNA, inhibit translation and modify protein function to control all steps of viral replication. Ongoing research continues to expose additional activities for these effector proteins and has revealed unanticipated functions of the antiviral response. Pattern-recognition Interferon (IFN) was discovered more than 50 years ago in components of the IFNR signalling pathway (STAT1 receptors as an agent that inhibited the replication of influenza (signal transducer and activator of transcription 1), TYK2 (PRRs).

  • Antiviral Rnai in Insects and Mammals: Parallels and Differences
    viruses Review Antiviral RNAi in Insects and Mammals: Parallels and Differences Susan Schuster, Pascal Miesen and Ronald P. van Rij * Department of Medical Microbiology, Radboud University Medical Center, Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences, 6500 HB Nijmegen, The Netherlands; [email protected] (S.S.); [email protected] (P.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +31-24-3617574 Received: 16 April 2019; Accepted: 15 May 2019; Published: 16 May 2019 Abstract: The RNA interference (RNAi) pathway is a potent antiviral defense mechanism in plants and invertebrates, in response to which viruses evolved suppressors of RNAi. In mammals, the first line of defense is mediated by the type I interferon system (IFN); however, the degree to which RNAi contributes to antiviral defense is still not completely understood. Recent work suggests that antiviral RNAi is active in undifferentiated stem cells and that antiviral RNAi can be uncovered in differentiated cells in which the IFN system is inactive or in infections with viruses lacking putative viral suppressors of RNAi. In this review, we describe the mechanism of RNAi and its antiviral functions in insects and mammals. We draw parallels and highlight differences between (antiviral) RNAi in these classes of animals and discuss open questions for future research. Keywords: small interfering RNA; RNA interference; RNA virus; antiviral defense; innate immunity; interferon; stem cells 1. Introduction RNA interference (RNAi) or RNA silencing was first described in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans [1] and following this ground-breaking discovery, studies in the field of small, noncoding RNAs have advanced tremendously. RNAi acts, with variations, in all eukaryotes ranging from unicellular organisms to complex species from the plant and animal kingdoms [2].

Primary Calculated MW 67314 incubation was 1 hour. Detected by chemiluminescence. Goat Anti-ABCE1/ RNAse L inhibitor Antibody - Additional Information Goat Anti-ABCE1/ RNAse L inhibitor Antibody - Background Gene ID 6059 The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette Other Names (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport ATP-binding cassette sub-family E member 1, 2'-5'-oligoadenylate-binding protein, various molecules across extra- and HuHP68, RNase L inhibitor, Ribonuclease 4 intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are inhibitor, RNS4I, ABCE1, RLI, RNASEL1, divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, RNASELI, RNS4I MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the OABP Format subfamily. Alternatively referred to as the 0.5 mg IgG/ml in Tris saline (20mM Tris RNase L inhibitor, this protein functions to pH7.3, 150mM NaCl), 0.02% sodium azide, block the activity of ribonuclease L. Activation with 0.5% bovine serum albumin of ribonuclease L leads to inhibition of protein synthesis in the 2-5A/RNase L system, the Storage central pathway for viral interferon action.
