No ubiquitin anchors and fully RIGged
Abstract
Unanchored chains of ubiquitin have recently been proposed to play a role in signaling. In this issue of Immunity, Jiang et al. (2012) demonstrate that binding of free polyubiquitin to the viral RNA sensors RIG-I and MDA5 leads to their oligomerization and activation.
