Decreased SynMuv B gene activity in response to viral infection leads to activation of the antiviral RNAi pathway in C. elegans. by Ashwin Seetharaman, Himani Galagali, Elizabeth Linarte, Mona H X Liu, Jennifer D Cohen, Kashish Chetal, Ruslan Sadreyev, Alex J Tate, Taiowa A Montgomery, Gary Ruvkun

“…In support of the model that decreased syn- Muv B gene activity enhances antiviral response, we found that synMuv B mutants have 50 to 100× lower viral RNA levels during an Orsay virus infection than wild type. Thus down-regulation of synMuv B activity to enhance RNAi is a key component in the defense response to viral infection. …”
