Antiviral interferon-beta signaling induced by designed transcription activator-like effectors (TALE).


ABSTRACT: Here we show that designed transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) that bind to defined areas of the interferon beta promoter are capable to induce IFN-beta expression and signaling in human cells. Importantly, TALE-mediated IFN-beta signaling occurs independently of pathogen pattern recognition but effectively prohibits viral RNA replication as demonstrated with a hepatitis C virus replicon. TALEs were thus indicated to be valuable tools in various applications addressing, for example, virus-host interactions.
