Nucleic acid agonists for Toll‐like receptor 7 are defined by the presence of uridine ribonucleotides
Open accessAbstract
Toll‐like receptor 7 (TLR7) mediates innate responses by responding to viral RNA in endocytic compartments. However, the molecular pattern recognised by TLR7 and whether it differs between RNA of viral and self origin remains unclear. Here, we identify nucleic acids that act as TLR7 agonists for mouse and human cells. We show that uridine and ribose, the two defining features of RNA, are both necessary and sufficient for TLR7 stimulation, and that short single‐stranded RNA (ssRNA) act as TLR7 agonists in a sequence‐independent manner as long as they contain several uridines in close proximity. Consistent with the notion that TLR7 lacks specificity for sequence motifs, we show that it is triggered equally efficiently by viral or self RNA delivered to endosomes. Our results support the notion that TLR7 recognises uracil repeats in RNA and that it discriminates between viral and self ligands on the basis of endosomal accessibility rather than sequence.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
