Function
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.

Supplementary info

- Activity summary
IFIT1 also known as Interferon-Induced Protein with Tetratricopeptide Repeats 1 is a protein that plays a significant role in antiviral defense mechanisms. It has a molecular mass of approximately 56 kDa. Researchers find IFIT1 predominantly expressed in cells stimulated by interferons. The protein detects viral single-stranded RNA which in turn helps initiate the antiviral response. You will find IFIT1 in various cell types mainly those exposed to viral infections as it is an important part of the body's innate immune system.
- Biological function summary
Activities of IFIT1 focus on inhibiting viral replication and translation processes. The protein binds to viral RNAs via its distinctive sensor domains preventing infections from progressing. IFIT1 operates often as part of a larger protein complex with other IFIT family members improving its ability to intercept and inhibit viral RNA. This concerted action provides an important line of defense against diverse viral pathogens by interfering with viral protein synthesis.
- Pathways
IFIT1 occupies an important place in the interferon signaling pathways particularly the Jak-STAT pathway. This pathway is critical for mounting antiviral responses when viral infections occur. Through its interactions within the pathway IFIT1 works together with related proteins like IFIT2 and IFIT3 to repel viral threats. By integrating into these pathways it contributes to amplifying the immune response promoting a robust defense system against foreign viral invaders.
- Associated diseases and disorders
IFIT1 is associated mainly with viral diseases such as influenza and hepatitis C. Its role in these diseases involves preventing the communication and replication of the viruses making it a pivotal part of antiviral therapeutic research. Additionally proteins like RIG-I interact with IFIT1 during these processes to recognize viral RNA enhancing the effectiveness of the immune response. These protein partnerships drive ongoing research looking to leverage IFIT1's antiviral properties for treatment developments.
