Catherine Collins’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I'm a science journalist working in Brussels, Belgium, but from Ireland originally :). I prefer writing about environmental issues, marine biology, ecology and renewable energy, but I am flexible when it comes to topics - I've written about diesel engines, insect personalities, rock art and hydrogen boats. I have a MA in Journalism and a B.Sc in Marine Science. Don't hesitate to contact me if you want more information or take a look at my website: www.catherinecollins.org.

Effect of a loss of the mda5/ifih1 gene on the antiviral resistance in a Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha cell line

Abstract Cells are equipped with intracellular RIG-like Receptors (RLRs) detecting double stranded (ds)RNA, a molecule with Pathogen-Associated Molecular Pattern (PAMPs) generated during the life cycle of many viruses. Melanoma Differentiation-Associated protein 5 (MDA5), a helicase enzyme member of the RLRs encoded by the ifih1 gene, binds to long dsRNA molecules during a viral infection and initiates production of type I interferon (IFN1) which orchestrates the antiviral response.
