Targeting the viral Achilles’ heel: recognition of 5′-triphosphate RNA in innate anti-viral defence

Some RNA virus genomes bear 5′-triphosphates, which can be recognized in the cytoplasm of infected cells by host proteins that mediate anti-viral immunity. Both the innate sensor RIG-I and the interferon-induced IFIT proteins bind to 5′-triphosphate viral RNAs. RIG-I signals for induction of interfe...
