RIG-I (retinoic acid-inducible gene 1) is a RIG-I-like receptor dsRNA helicase enzyme that is encoded (in humans) by the DDX58 gene. RIG-I is part of the RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) family, which also includes MDA5 and LGP2, and functions as a pattern recognition receptor that is a sensor for viruses. RIG-I typically recognizes short (< 4000nt) 5′ triphosphate dsRNA.[1] RIG-I and MDA5 are involved in activating MAVS and triggering an antiviral response.[2] For many viruses, effective RIG-I-mediated antiviral responses are dependent on functionally active LGP2.[3]

Function

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. RIG-I contains a RNA helicase-DEAD box motifs and a caspase recruitment domain (CARD). RIG-I is involved in viral double-stranded (ds) RNA recognition and the regulation of immune response.[4]
