Description: A full-length cDNA encoding mouse LGP2 was cloned by computational analysis, RT-PCR, and RACE of liver and mammary tissue total RNA. And human LGP2 was also cloned. Yoneyama et al. have identified a DExD/H box-containing RNA helicase, retinoic acid inducible gene I (RIG-I), as an essential component of the sensor of intracellular dsRNA. Furthermore, two other DexD/H-box-containing RNA helicases, MDA5 and LGP2, were found in the mammalian database. MDA5 acts as a positive regulator in the virus-induced activation of type I IFN genes. On the other hand, LGP2 functions as a dominant-negative regulator of RIG-I/MDA5-mediated signaling. These molecules have critical roles for antiviral innate immune responses.
