Nucleic Acid Immunity 2016-12-15 .txt text/plain 16155 915 47 With the additions of RNAi and the CRISPR/Cas system, specific nucleases including the restriction-modification (R-M) systems, and antiviral effector proteins partially discovered only recently in the context of rare hereditary inflammatory diseases, the new concept of nucleic acid immunity evolves. While innate nucleic acid immune-sensing receptors elicit antiviral signaling pathways, a number of nucleic acid-detecting effector proteins (viral restriction factors, e.g., PKR, ADAR1, IFIT1) directly detect and restrict nucleic acid function and replication. Another member of the RIG-I-like helicase family of receptors is MDA5 which was found to be responsible for the long sought after type I IFN-inducing activity of cytosolic long double-stranded RNA including poly(I:C) . Extrinsic effects inside the same cell include degradation of the nucleic acid (e.g., RNase L activated by 2 0 -5 0 -OA generated by OAS1 upon binding of long double-stranded RNA). ./cache/cord-007382-5kb16qb7.txt ./txt/cord-007382-5kb16qb7.txt
