"The interaction between USP18 and MAVS is enhanced following viral infection, suggesting the possible regulation of MAVS activity by USP18."

sparser
"USP18 C64S , the mutation of cysteine residues in the enzymatic center of USP18, can interact with MAVS and enhances the ubiquitination as well as aggregation of MAVS comparable to the wild-type USP18, suggesting USP18 is involved in MAVS-mediated signaling pathway independent of its enzymatic activity."

sparser
"For example, USP18 specifically interacts with MAVS, promoting the K63-linked polyubiquitination and subsequent aggregation of MAVS when infected with SeV or Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV)."

sparser
"USP18 interacts with MAVS in the RLR signaling pathway."

sparser
"To investigate whether USP18 specifically interacts with MAVS, we utilized the Co-IP assay to examine the interaction between the signaling molecules in the RLR signaling pathway and USP18."

sparser
"The results showed that USP18 mainly interacted with MAVS, while there was no or weak association with upstream molecules RIG-I or MDA5 and downstream molecules TBK1 or IRF3 in the RLRs signaling pathway (Fig.  xref )."

"This enhanced complex formation of USP18 and MAVS was further validated through the PLA assay, in which the number of spots representing the endogenous USP18-MAVS complex increased significantly following SeV infection (Fig.  xref )."

sparser
"Since MAVS is localized in mitochondria, we further isolated the mitochondrial fraction and observed an enhanced interaction between MAVS and USP18 in mitochondria following SeV infection (Fig.  xref )."

sparser
"The elevated endogenous interaction between MAVS and USP18 was also confirmed in the RAW264.7 cells upon SeV infection (Fig.  xref )."

sparser
"There is evidence suggesting that USP18 can interact with MAVS and that this interaction promotes MAVS aggregation, resulting in enhancement of antiviral activity xref ."

reach
"The conclusion was supported by a series of experiments investigating the effects of different specific inhibitors of these events.There is evidence suggesting that USP18 can interact with MAVS and that this interaction promotes MAVS aggregation, resulting in enhancement of antiviral activity ."

sparser
"We observed that the interaction between MAVS and USP18 was not affected by this mutation (Fig.  xref )."

sparser
"The spatial colocalization and interaction between USP18 and MAVS were further confirmed by in situ proximity ligation assay (PLA), in which the number of red spots displaying the interaction between USP18 and MAVS."

sparser
"Here, we demonstrate that a mitochondria-localized deubiquitinase USP18 specifically interacts with MAVS, promotes K63-linked polyubiquitination and subsequent aggregation of MAVS."

sparser
"Notably, we also observed that the endogenous interaction between USP18 and MAVS was enhanced following the SeV infection in THP-1 cells (Fig.  xref ), indicating that USP18 may play a role in modulating the activity of MAVS."
