MLL5 suppresses antiviral innate immune response by facilitating STUB1-mediated RIG-I degradation
Abstract
MLL5 is an essential epigenetic modifier involved in cell cycle progression, chromatin architecture and hematopoiesis. Here the authors establish that MLL5 suppresses the innate immune response in a murine model of virus infection by targeting and promoting degradation of RIG-I.
