"The RIG-I tetramer translocates to mitochondrial membrane, where it activates downstream effectors including IRF3, IRF7, and NF-kB to produce type-I Interferon (IFN-I) ( xref ). xref found OTUB1 activates RIG-I at mitochondria and achieves this function through both DUB activity and E2-blocking activity."

"Both human and their homologs in grouper, Epinephelus coioides (OTUB1/2 and EcOTUB1/2), interact with TRAF3 and TRAF6, deubiquitinating them to attenuate virus-induced activation of IRF3 and NF-κB and suppress virus-triggered type I interferon (IFN) induction and promote viral replication. xref , xref Meanwhile, OTUB1 also activates RIG-I (retinoic acid-inducible gene I)-dependent antiviral responses through a dual mechanism: K48 polyubiquitin hydrolysis and complex formation with UbcH5c—a process antagonized by influenza A virus (IAV) NS1 protein-mediated OTUB1 degradation. xref This evolutionary arms race between host Otubains and viral evasion strategies underscores their fundamental role in antiviral defense, while highlighting the therapeutic potential of developing targeted Otubain modulators."
