ISG15 Is a Key Multidirectional Regulator of Cytosolic RNA- and DNA-Sensing Pathways and Type I Interferon Feedback Loops
Activation of cytosolic RNA and DNA sensing pathways that normally recognize viral nucleic acids triggers the expression and release of type I interferons (IFN-I). This release drives the expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) that activate acute inflammation and counteract viral replication at various stages...
