Mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein
Mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MAVS gene.[1][2][3] The protein is also known by the names VISA (virus-induced signaling adapter), IPS-1 and Cardif. Aggregated MAVS forms protease resistant prion-like aggregates that activate IRF3 dimerization.[4]
Function
Function
Double-stranded RNA viruses are recognized in a cell type-dependent manner by the transmembrane receptor TLR3 or by the cytoplasmic RNA helicases MDA5 and RIG-I. These interactions initiate signalling pathways that differ in their initial steps but converge in the activation of the protein kinases IKKA (CHUK) and IKKB (IKBKB; MIM 603258), which activate NF-κB, or TBK1 and IKBKE, which activate IRF3. Activated IRF3 and NF-κB induce transcription of IFNβ (IFNB1). For the TLR3 pathway, the intermediary molecule before the pathways converge is the cytoplasmic protein TRIF (TICAM1). For RIG-I, the intermediary protein is mitochondria-bound MAVS.[3][5]
