    Product Description

    Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I), also known as DDX58, is a cytosolic DExD/H-box RNA helicase and an immune sensing receptor encoded by DDX58 in humans.1 It is composed of a C-terminal repressor domain, a central RNA helicase domain, and two N-terminal caspase recruitment domains (CARDs).1,2 Following recognition of viral dsRNA by the C-terminal and helicase domains, the helicase domain induces an ATP-dependent conformational change, allowing for interaction of the CARD domains with mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS) and induction of a type I interferon (IFN) response.1,2,3 A single amino acid substitution of phenylalanine for cysteine at position 268 in the RIG-I helicase domain (RIG-IC268F) leads to enhanced NF-κB activity and expression of IFN-β in basal and poly (I:C)-stimulated cells.4 Overexpression of RIG-IC268F in human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cells induces cell death and is positively correlated with glaucoma, a core symptom in the type I interferonopathy atypical Singleton-Merten syndrome.
