This suggests SARS-CoV N may interfere with RNA recognition by host immune sensors such as RIG-I and MDA5 thus achieving suppressive role in IFN production. Our group demonstrated that MERS-CoV ORF4a interacts with PACT, a cellular dsRNA-binding protein that optimally activates RIG-Iand MDA5-induced type I IFN production, in an RNAdependent manner (Siu et al., 2014c) . Infection with SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV has been accompanied with suppression of innate immune response, most notably with the suppression of type I IFN production and signaling pathways. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus nsp1 suppresses host gene expression, including that of type I interferon, in infected cells Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus 4a protein is a double-stranded RNA-binding protein that suppresses pact-induced activation of RIG-I and MDA5 in the innate antiviral response ./cache/cord-319501-a2x1hvkk.txt ./txt/cord-319501-a2x1hvkk.txt
