Molecular basis of autoimmune disease protection by MDA5 variants

Summary: MDA5 recognizes double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) from viruses and retroelements. Cooperative filament formation and ATP-dependent proofreading confer MDA5 with the necessary sensitivity and specificity for dsRNA. Many MDA5 genetic variants are associated with protection from autoimmune disease w...
