Cellular RNA interacts with MAVS to promote antiviral signaling Antiviral signaling downstream of RIG-I–like receptors (RLRs) proceeds through a multi-protein complex organized around the adaptor protein mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS). Protein co...

MAVS directly senses cellular mRNA via an unstructured region! In turn, this potentiates anti-viral responses by promoting NF-kB and IRF signalling 🦠 Huge congrats @nandangokhale.bsky.social

Pyroptotic cell corpses are crowned with F-actin-rich filopodia that engage CLEC9A signaling in incoming dendritic cells - Nature Immunology Pyroptotic cell death results in inflammation. Here the authors find that F-actin-rich structures formed during macrophage pyroptosis persist after cell death to activate dendritic cells.

#paperoftheweek

F-actin-rich filopodia crown pyroptotic corpses and bind to DNGR-1, to activate dendritic cells & drive immunity! 🦠

GGNBP2 regulates MDA5 sensing triggered by self double-stranded RNA following loss of ADAR1 editing GGNBP2, CNOT10, and CNOT11 are required for innate immune response after the loss of ADAR1-mediated editing of self dsRNA.

#paperoftheweek @jackiheraudfarlow.bsky.social & Co report that GGNBP2-CNOT10/11 complex formation promotes MDA5 sensing of immunogenic self dsRNAs, upon ADAR1 mutation. Congrats to all involved! 👏🏻
