RIG1 is a cytoplasmically bound enzyme that exhibits phospholipase 1/2 activity and catalyzes the hydrolysis of various important membrane lipids including phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine containing lipids. RIG1 mimics PLA1/2 activities in many tissues and is widely expressed. Recent research has shown that RIG1 also functions as a cytoplasmic pattern receptor that detects viral RNA and acts as a cellular sensor for viral infection, which in turn can activate the proinflammatory response and the production of type-1 interferons against the infection.
The murine leukemia virus (MuLV) is a gammaretrovirus that has a positive, single-stranded sense RNA, which replicates via reverse transcription. The envelope of the virus is shown to be covered with glycoprotein spikes. Three major genes produced by

Platelet glycoprotein 4 (UniProt: Q08857; also known as Glycoprotein IIIb, GPIIIB, PAS IV, PAS-4, Platelet glycoprotein IV, GPIV, CD antigen: CD36) is encoded by the cd36 gene (Gene ID: 12491) in murine species. CD36 is a multifunctional glycoprotein
PRL-2 is one of three members (PRL-1, PRL-2, and PRL-3) that is part of a unique protein-tyrosine phosphatase ((PTP) family. PTPs are cell signaling molecules that play regulatory roles in a variety of cellular processes. PTPs in this class contain a
Matrin-3 (UniProt P43243) is encoded by the MATR3 (also known as ALS21, KIAA0723, VCPDM) gene (Gene ID 9782) in human. Matrin-3 is an inner nuclear matrix protein involved in multiple nuclear processes, including DNA double strand break response, DNA
Fizzy-related protein homolog (UniProt: Q9R1K5; also known as Fzr, Cdh1/Hct1 homolog) is encoded by the Fzr1 (also known as Fyr, Fzr) gene (Gene ID: 56371) in murine species. Cdh1 is a substrate-specific adapter for the anaphase promoting complex/cyc
Cell division cycle and apoptosis regulator protein 1 (UniProt: Q8IX12; also known as Cell cycle and apoptosis regulatory protein 1, CARP-1, Death inducer with SAP domain, CCAR1) is encoded by the CCAR1 (also known as CARP1, DIS) gene (Gene ID: 55749
