Background:
Interferon-induced antiviral RNA-binding protein that specifically binds single-stranded RNA bearing a 5'-triphosphate group (PPP-RNA), thereby acting as a sensor of viral single- stranded RNAs and inhibiting expression of viral messenger RNAs. Single-stranded PPP-RNAs, which lack 2'-O-methylation of the 5' cap and bear a 5'-triphosphate group instead, are specific from viruses, providing a molecular signature to distinguish between self and non-self mRNAs by the host during viral infection. Directly binds PPP-RNA in a non-sequence-specific manner. Viruses evolved several ways to evade this restriction system such as encoding their own 2'-O-methylase for their mRNAs or by stealing host cap containing the 2'-O-methylation (cap snatching mechanism). Exhibits antiviral activity against several viruses including human papilloma and hepatitis C viruses.
Other Names:
IFIT1; G10P1; IFI56; IFNAI1; ISG56; Interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 1; IFIT-1; Interferon-induced 56 kDa protein; IFI-56K; P56
Antigen Type: synthetic peptide
Antigen Type: IFIT1
Gene ID: 3434
Primary Accession: P09914
