N4BP3 Regulates RIG-I-Like Receptor Antiviral Signaling Positively by Targeting Mitochondrial Antiviral Signaling Protein

Mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS), an adaptor protein, is activated by RIG-I, which is critical for an effective innate immune response to infection by various RNA viruses. Viral infection causes the RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) to recognize pathogen-derived dsRNA and then becomes activa...
