Targeting a key disulfide linkage to regulate RIG-I condensation and cytosolic RNA-sensing.
Article in Nature cell biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Maintaining innate immune homeostasis is critical for preventing infections and autoimmune diseases but effective interventions are lacking. Here we identified C864-C869-mediated intermolecular disulfide-linkage formation as a critical step for human RIG-I activation that can be bidirectionally regulated to control innate immune homeostasis. The viral-stimulated C864-C869 disulfide linkage mediates conjugation of an SDS-resistant RIG-I oligomer, which prevents RIG-I degradation by E3 ubiquitin-ligase MIB2 and is necessary for RIG-I to perform liquid-liquid phase separation to compartmentalize downstream signalsome, thereby stimulating type I interferon signalling. The corresponding C865S 'knock-in' caused an oligomerization defect and liquid-liquid phase separation in mouse RIG-I, which inhibited innate immunity, resulting in increased viral load and mortality in mice. Using unnatural amino acids to generate covalent C864-C869 linkage and the development of an interfering peptide to block C864-C869 residues, we bidirectionally regulated RIG-I activities in human diseases. These findings provide in-depth insights on mechanism of RIG-I activation, allowing for the development of methodologies that hold promising implications in clinics.
