Show abstract
Oligoadenylate synthetase 3 (OAS3) and Ribonuclease L (RNase L) are components of a mammalian RNA decay pathway that is critical for combating viral infection. Nevertheless, the subcellular localization of OAS3 and RNase L during the antiviral response has remained elusive. Herein, we show that upon activation in response to double-stranded RNA or viral infection, OAS3 and RNase L integrate into higher-order cytoplasmic assemblies distinct from stress granules (SGs), RNase L-induced bodies (RLBs), or processing bodies (P-bodies). We identified these assemblies as double-stranded RNA-induced foci (dRIF), which also contain activated protein kinase R (PKR). We observed incorporation of RNase L, OAS3, and PKR in dRIFs during Zika virus and dengue virus infection. Our data support that condensation of dsRNA, OAS3 and RNase L at dRIFs promotes the homodimerization and oligomerization of RNase L required for its rapid activation, demonstrating a fundamental role for biological condensates in activating antiviral signaling.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
