ABSTRACT
Viral infections pose significant threats to human health, leading to a diverse spectrum of infectious diseases. The innate immune system serves as the primary barrier against viruses and bacteria in the early stages of infection. A rapid and forceful antiviral innate immune response is triggered by distinguishing between self-nucleic acids and viral nucleic acids. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are a diverse group of proteins which contain specific structural motifs or domains for binding RNA molecules. In the last decade, numerous of studies have outlined that RBPs influence viral replication via diverse mechanisms, directly recognizing viral nucleic acids and modulating the activity of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). In this review, we summarize the functions of RBPs in regulation of host-virus interplay by controlling the activation of PRRs, such as RIG-I, MDA5, cGAS and TLR3. RBPs are instrumental in facilitating the identification of viral RNA or DNA, as well as viral structural proteins within the cellular cytoplasm and nucleus, functioning as co-receptor elements. On the other hand, RBPs are capable of orchestrating the activation of PRRs and facilitating the transmission of antiviral signals to downstream adaptor proteins by post-translational modifications or aggregation. Gaining a deeper comprehension of the interaction between the host and viruses is crucial for the development of novel therapeutics targeting viral infections.
