TDP-43 prevents endogenous RNAs from triggering a lethal RIG-I-dependent interferon response
Summary: RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) are involved in the discrimination of self versus non-self via the recognition of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). Emerging evidence suggests that immunostimulatory dsRNAs are ubiquitously expressed but are disrupted or sequestered by cellular RNA binding proteins (R...

TDP-43 is an RBP associated with multiple neurological disorders and is essential for cell viability. Here, we demonstrate that TDP-43 regulates the accumulation of immunostimulatory dsRNA. The immunostimulatory RNA is identified as RNA polymerase III transcripts, including 7SL and Alu retrotransposons, and we demonstrate that the RNA-binding activity of TDP-43 is required to prevent immune stimulation.
