Summary
The Mavs signalling pathway in non-myeloid cells is crucial for dsRNA-mediated natural killer cell activation.
Tyrosine phosphorylation of Mavs at amino acid residue Tyr9 is critical for the induction of Ifnb signalling. (Demonstrated in human)
Upon infection with encephalitic Bunyavirus, RIG-I/MAVS signalling activates SARM1 to mediate neuronal cell death.
MAVS binds to VDAC1 to trigger viral-induced apoptosis.
Plasmodium RNA is a pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) capable of activating a type I IFN response via the cytosolic pattern recognition receptors Ifih1 and Mavs, as well as via transcription factors Irf3 and Irf7.
Antiviral response to rotavirus in infected macrophages is fully Mavs-dependent.
Alveolar macrophages detect respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) via the Mavs /Ddx58 pathway and are a major source of type I interferons upon RSV infection.
Transgenic picornavirus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) expression in mice produces a quantitatively dramatic, sustained, effective antiviral interferon-stimulated genes (ISG) network, which requires the MDA5-MAVS pathway.
March5 modulates Mavs-mediated antiviral signalling, preventing excessive immune reactions.
Baiap2l1 recruits Ube2i to sumoylate Pcbp2, which causes its cytoplasmic translocation during viral infection and the sumoylated Pcbp2 associates with Mavs to initiate its degradation, leading to downregulation of antiviral responses.

Summary
[Homo sapiens] MAVS oligomer is essential in the formation of a multiprotein membrane-associated signalling complex that enables downstream activation of IRF3 and NF-kappaB in antiviral innate immunity.
[Homo sapiens] MAVS is a caspase recruitment domain (CARD)-containing adaptor protein that interacts with DDX58 (RIG-I) and recruits CHUK (IKKalpha), IKBKB (IKKbeta) and IKBKE (IKKepsilon) kinases by means of its C-terminal region, leading to the activation of NF-kappaB and IRF3.
[Homo sapiens] MAVS is an adaptor protein that contains an N-terminal caspase recruitment domain (CARD)-like domain and a C-terminal transmembrane domain, both of which are essential for MAVS signalling, while the transmembrane domain also targets MAVS to the mitochondria.
[Homo sapiens] MAVS facilitates cell death by disrupting the mitochondrial membrane potential and by activating caspases.
[Homo sapiens] MAVS-dependent RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) signalling regulates the quantity, quality, and balance of the immune response to West Nile virus (WNV) infection.
[Homo sapiens] MAVS in peroxisomes induces a rapid interferon-independent expression of defence factors that provide short-term protection, whereas mitochondrial MAVS activates an interferon-dependent signalling pathway with delayed kinetics, which amplifies and stabilizes the antiviral response.
[Homo sapiens] MAVS interacts with hepatitis B virus X protein and this promotes the degradation of MAVS via Lys(136) ubiquitination, preventing the induction of IFN-beta.
[Homo sapiens] MAVS (IPS-1) interacts with MFN1 upon virus-infection or 5'ppp-RNA activation through redistribution of MAVS to form speck-like aggregates in cells.
[Homo sapiens] MAVS (IPS1) plays an important role in regulating the host anti-viral response by binding to viral polymerase and inhibiting IFN-beta production.
[Homo sapiens] MAVS negatively regulates the stability of voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) and thereby inhibits apoptosis in the response to release of cytochrome c.
[Homo sapiens] The MAVS signalling pathway in non-myeloid cells is crucial for dsRNA-mediated natural killer cell activation. (Demonstrated in murine model)
[Homo sapiens] Tyrosine phosphorylation of MAVS at amino acid residue Tyr9 is critical for the induction of IFNB signalling.
[Homo sapiens] MAVS mRNA is degraded in response to foreign RNA and poly(I:C) to suppress hyper-immune reaction in late-phase antiviral signalling.
[Homo sapiens] MAVS is required for optimal NLRP3 inflammasome activity by mediating mitochondrial recruitment of NLRP3.
[Homo sapiens] MAVS is targeted by enterovirus protease to evade antiviral immunity.
[Homo sapiens] The binding of MAVS to Traf2, Traf5, and Traf6 is dependent on virus infection and MAVS polymerization. The TRAF proteins promote ubiquitination that recruits IKBKG binding to the MAVS signalling complex.
[Homo sapiens] Upon viral infection, MAVS recruits MKK7 onto mitochondria, leading to the induction of apoptosis by MAP2K7 activated MAPK9
[Homo sapiens] Macrocyclic NS3-4A resistance-associated amino acid variants (RAVs) with substitutions at residue D168 of the hepatitis C virus protease result in an increased capacity of NS3-4A to cleave MAVS and suppress IFNB1 induction.
[Homo sapiens] RNA cleavage products, catalyzed by RNASEL, bind to DHX33 to facilitate the formation of a complex with MAVS and NLRP3 during viral infection.
[Homo sapiens] HACE1 plays an inhibitory role in virus-induced signalling by disrupting the MAVS-TRAF3 complex.
[Homo sapiens] MARCH5 modulates MAVS-mediated antiviral signalling, preventing excessive immune reactions.
[Homo sapiens] MAVS directly interacts with TRAF6 through its potential TRAF6-binding motif 2.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000088888:
This gene encodes an intermediary protein necessary in the virus-triggered beta interferon signaling pathways. It is required for activation of transcription factors which regulate expression of beta interferon and contributes to antiviral immunity. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
