Background
DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases which are implicated in a number of cellular processes involving RNA binding and alteration of RNA secondary structure. This gene encodes a protein containing RNA helicase-DEAD box protein motifs and a caspase recruitment domain (CARD). It is involved in viral double-stranded (ds) RNA recognition and the regulation of immune response. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
domain:The 2 CARD domains are responsible for interaction with and signaling through MAVS.,domain:The helicase domain is responsible for dsRNA recognition.,domain:The repressor domain controls homomultimerization and interaction with MAVS.,function:Involved in innate immune defense against viruses. Upon interaction with intracellular dsRNA produced during viral replication, triggers a transduction cascade involving MAVS/IPS1, which results in the activation of NF-kappa-B, IRF3 and IRF7 and the induction of the expression of antiviral cytokines such as IFN-beta and RANTES (CCL5). Essential for the production of interferons in response to RNA viruses including paramyxoviruses, influenza viruses, Japanese encephalitis virus and HCV.,induction:By bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in endothelial cells. By IFN-alpha, -beta and -gamma.,PTM:Isgylated. Conjugated to ubiquitin-like protein ISG15
