Integrator loss leads to dsRNA formation that triggers the integrated stress response
Integrator (INT) prevents the escape of immature RNAPII to ensure full-length mRNA production. INT deficiency causes defects in RNAPII maturation that lead to premature termination, accumulation of immunogenic dsRNA, and activation of the integrated stress response (ISR) observed in patient cells.

Making some RNAi constructs. That long red stick was perfect binding to make that dsRNA sandwich that DICER needs. Fun!

GGNBP2 regulates MDA5 sensing triggered by self double-stranded RNA following loss of ADAR1 editing

SGs can form as a response to dsRNA detection, but when Mulloy induced SG formation via a dsRNA-independent pathway, N* still stopped SGs. Mutation of two essential AA for dsRNA binding (K257, K261) showed that N*’s dsRNA binding was required for SG antagonism.

N* also antagonizes P-bodies, another speck-like antiviral cellular body that is NOT induced by dsRNA at all. Again, N*’s dsRNA binding was the key element. What’s going on here? How does N* prevent responses that aren’t induced by dsRNA by binding dsRNA?

Chromosome missegration activates dsRNA-sensing pathway in a MAVS-dependent manner and enhances innate immune signaling!

RNA sensing induced by chromosome missegregation augments anti-tumor immunity
Sasaki et al. demonstrate that chromosome missegregation induced by SAC inhibition results in cytoplasmic dsRNA accumulation, primarily generated from non-exonic regions in the MNs. Activation of MAVS-mediated dsRNA sensing cooperates with dsDNA sensing to promote anti-tumor immunity.

I am pleased to share our new paper in Molecular Cell:

“Capsid restructuring activates semi-conservative dsRNA transcription in cystovirus ɸ6.”

We visualized, in structural detail, how a double-stranded RNA virus switches from a quiescent to a transcriptionally active state.

Cerium-doped Mo90Ce10 simultaneously tackles dsRNA and ROS, reducing skin inflammation in conditions like psoriasis. 🌱 In vitro, its dual action offers targeted relief! PMID:42120426, Nat Commun 2026, @NatureComms https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-026-72964-x #Medsky #Pharmsky #RNA #ASHG #ESHG 🧪
Double-stranded RNA and ROS scavenging nanoplatform for modulating skin inflammation | Nature Communications
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to the exacerbation of skin inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. While antioxidant strategies have been extensively explored, approaches to neutralize pathogenic dsRNA remain limited. Here, we show that Mo90Ce10, a cerium-doped polyoxometalate, concurrently targets dsRNA and ROS to mitigate cutaneous inflammation. In vitro, Mo90Ce10 scavenges ROS and suppresses type I interferon responses by directly binding dsRNA through its oxygen-rich, hydrogen bond-forming surface. Its structural template, {Mo154}, exhibits weaker activity. In vivo, Mo90Ce10 reduces disease severity, dsRNA-induced inflammation, ROS burden, and neutrophil infiltration. Leveraging its negative charge and self-assembly properties, we further develop a transdermal platform by complexing Mo90Ce10 with the cationic peptide TD-1 and co-loading methotrexate, thereby enhancing drug penetration andtherapeutic efficacy whil
