    basic FUNCTION
  • acting as an RNA helicase
  • involved in innate immune defense against viruses
  • triggering a transduction cascade involving MAVS, which results in the activation of NF-kappa-B, IRF3 and IRF7 and the induction of the expression of antiviral cytokines such as IFN-beta and RANTES (CCL5)
  • may play a key role in interferon-based therapies for the treatment of HCV infection
  • efficiently binds to secondary structured HCV RNA to confer induction of IFN-beta expression
  • being essential for the production of interferons in response to RNA viruses including paramyxoviruses, influenza viruses and Japanese encephalitis virus
  • essential intracellular sensor for several viruses and elicits antiviral interferon (IFN) responses by recognizing viral double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs)
  • acting as a mediator of the cytokine network in the inflammatory skin diseases, such as psoriasis vulgaris
  • cytosolic viral RNA receptor that interacts with MAVS to induce type I interferon-mediated host protective innate immunity against viral infection
  • initiates a signaling cascade that activates innate immune response by interferon and cytokine production, providing essential antiviral protection for the host
  • cytosolic pattern recognition receptors detecting single-stranded or double-stranded RNA in virally infected cells
  • recognize single-stranded RNA with 5prime triphosphates and double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to initiate innate antiviral immune responses
  • cytoplasmic DEX(D/H) helicase protein that can induce signaling in response to RNA ligands, including those from viral infections
  • DDX58 signalling mediates the expression of two important mediators of inflammation, IL6 and IL8
  • activation of DDX58 leads to endothelial dysfunction, and DDX58-induced endothelial damage could therefore be an important pathway in atherogenesis
  • DDX58 and IFIH1 have emerged as key cytosolic sensors for the detection of RNA viruses and lead to antiviral interferon (IFN) production
  • IFIH1 and DDX58 sense viral RNA in the cytoplasm of infected cells and activate signal transduction pathways that trigger the production of type I interferons (IFNs)
  • DDX58 -mediated antiviral signaling serves as the first line of defense against viral infection
  • interacts with DDX58 and MAVS
  • plays important roles in pathogen recognition and antiviral signalling transduction

    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • isgylated (conjugated to ubiquitin-like protein ISG15 upon IFN-beta stimulation)
  • WRNIP1-TRIM14-PPP6C mitochondrial signalosome required for DDX58-mediated innate antiviral immunity
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
  • binding to dsRNA produced during viral replication
  • while DDX58 binds to a dsRNA end as a monomer in the absence of ATP, it assembles in the presence of ATP into a filament that propagates from the dsRNA end to the interior
  • small molecule nucleotide,
  • ATP
  • protein
  • interacting with MAVS/IPS1
  • interacting with DHX58/LGP2, with IKBKE and TBK1
  • RNF135 interacting with DDX58
  • interacting with DHX58 (facilitates viral RNA recognition by DDX58 and IFIH1 through its ATPase domain
  • ZC3HAV1 is a key regulator of DDX58 signaling during the innate antiviral immune response
  • TRIM25 interaction with DDX58
  • KL interacts with DDX58 and this interaction inhibits DDX58-induced expression of IL6 and IL8
  • PRKRA is an important component in initiating and sustaining the DDX58-dependent antiviral response
  • PRKRIR is a DDX58 interacting protein (interacts through the C-terminal domain of PRKRIR, and the N-terminal region of PRKRIR potentially possesses inhibitory functions to block DDX58 interaction)
  • ANKRD17 interacts with DDX58, IFIH1, and MAVS and upregulates RLR-mediated immune signaling
  • TLR3 and DDX58 activation leads to a release of proinflammatory cytokines, which enhance atherosclerotic processes and affect other cell types
  • TSPAN6 functions as a negative regulator of the DDX58 pathway by interacting with MAVS in a ubiquitination-dependent manner
  • MUL1 is a novel regulator of the DDX58-like receptor-dependent antiviral response, that otherwise functions to limit inflammation
  • RAD23A inhibits DDX58/IFIH1 signaling by interacting with TRAF2 and down-regulates its protein level (PMUID: 23357418)
  • PPP1CA and PPP1CC are the primary phosphatases that are responsible for IFIH1 and DDX58 dephosphorylation
  • that lead to their activation
  • TRIM11 inhibits DDX58-mediated IFNB1 production by targeting the TBK1 signaling complex
  • TFG plays likely a pivotal role in negative regulation of RNA-sensing, DDX58 family signaling pathways
  • RNF135 was dispensable for DDX58 RNA binding activity but required for TRIM25 to activate DDX58
  • forms signaling-competent filaments in an ATP-dependent, ubiquitin-independent manner
  • MEX3C is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that modifies DDX58 in stress granules and plays a critical role in eliciting antiviral immune responses
  • MAVS and TMEM173 transduce signals from the cytosolic nucleic acid sensors DDX58 and CGAS, respectively
  • exerts its antiviral activity mainly through governing its downstream regulators DDX58 and IFIH1 by gene splicing to activate IRF3 and induce classical ISG expression independent of the JAT-STAT signaling pathway
  • during DDX58 activation induced by viral RNA, cytosolic FGF2 bound to the caspase recruitment domains of activated DDX58, which blocked DDX58-MAVS complex formation
  • UBD is a novel negative regulator of DDX58-mediated inflammatory response
  • SDC4 interacts with both DDX58 and deubiquitinase CYLD via its C-terminal intracellular region, and likely promotes redistribution of DDX58 and CYLD in a perinuclear pattern post viral infection
  • SRP54 interacted with both DDX58 and IFIH1 and impaired their association with MAVS
  • RNF135 play a central role in the activation of the retinoic acid-inducible gene I (DDX58), and is a novel ZAP cofactor
