Background

DDX58 (DexD/H-Box-Helicase 58), also known as RIG-I (retinoic acid-inducible gene I) is a crucial protein from the innate immune system, involved in detecting cells infected with viruses such as West Nile Virus, Sendai, Influenza B and Coronaviruses. It recognizes dsRNA (double-stranded RNA) in the cytosol of cells, that have a blunt 5’end, 5’di or tri-phosphate. Once bound to dsRNA, its CARD (caspase activation and recruitment domain) associated with AMVS (mitochondria antiviral signaling proteins) can activate IFN-1 (type 1 Interferon). In addition to recognizing viral RNA, DDX58  also participates in the development of breast cancer cells resistance to treatments by recognizing “self” RNA. Further studies into this interesting protein can reveal new mechanisms of action and be explored for therapeutical applications.
