Open AccessTranscription-independent regulation of STING activation and innate immune responses by IRF8 in monocytes
Sensing of cytosolic DNA of microbial or cellular/mitochondrial origin by cGAS initiates innate immune responses via the adaptor protein STING. It remains unresolved how the activity of STING is balanced betwe...

SRP54 Negatively Regulates IFN-Beta Production and Antiviral Response by Targeting RIG-I and MDA5
During virus infection, RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) recognize viral RNAs and recruit the adaptor protein VISA to activate downstream signaling, leading to activation of transcription factors NF-κB and IRF3, wh...

Open AccessHistone deacetylase 3 promotes innate antiviral immunity through deacetylation of TBK1
TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), a core kinase of antiviral pathways, activates the production of interferons (IFNs). It has been reported that deacetylation activates TBK1; however, the precise mechanism still r...

In vivo selection with lentiviral expression of Bcl2T69A/S70A/S87A mutant in hematopoietic stem cell-transplanted mice
Current in vivo selections for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)-based gene therapy are drug dependent and not without risk of cytotoxicity or tumorigenesis. We developed a new in vivo selection system with the no...

Open AccessThe RNA-binding protein Mex3B is a coreceptor of Toll-like receptor 3 in innate antiviral response
Recognition of viral dsRNA by Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) leads to induction of interferons (IFNs) and proinflammatory cytokines, and innate antiviral response. Here we identified the RNA-binding protein Mex3B...
