Abstract

MDA5, an RIG-I-like helicase, is a conserved cytoplasmic viral RNA sensor, which recognizes dsRNA from a wide-range of viruses in a length-dependent manner. It has been proposed that MDA5 forms higher-order structures upon viral dsRNA recognition or during antiviral signaling, however the organization and nature of this proposed oligomeric state is unknown. We report here that MDA5 cooperatively assembles into a filamentous oligomer composed of a repeating segmental arrangement of MDA5 dimers along the length of dsRNA. Binding of MDA5 to dsRNA stimulates its ATP hydrolysis activity with little coordination between neighboring molecules within a filament. Individual ATP hydrolysis in turn renders an intrinsic kinetic instability to the MDA5 filament, triggering dissociation of MDA5 from dsRNA at a rate inversely proportional to the filament length. These results suggest a previously unrecognized role of ATP hydrolysis in control of filament assembly and disassembly processes, thereby autoregulating the interaction of MDA5 with dsRNA, and provides a potential basis for dsRNA length-dependent antiviral signaling.

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.
