Abstract:
A series of high-resolution crystal structures of RIG-I and RIG-I: dsRNA cocrystals has recently been reported. Comparison of these structures provides considerable insight into how this innate immune pattern recognition receptor is activated upon detecting and binding a certain class of viral RNAs.
