In non-specialized epithelial cells as well as a subset of specialized immune cells that are susceptible to MERS-CoV infection, 16, 18, 27 type I IFN production is an important part of the host innate immune response and is initiated by ubiquitously expressed cytoplasmic viral sensors in the retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I)-like receptor (RLR) family in response to the detection of viral pathogen-associated molecular patterns such as double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). Middle east respiratory syndrome coronavirus 4a protein is a double-stranded RNA-binding protein that suppresses PACT-induced activation of RIG-I and MDA5 in the innate antiviral response ./cache/cord-279733-c0w9bw5u.txt ./txt/cord-279733-c0w9bw5u.txt
