Induction of RNA interference by C. elegans mitochondrial dysfunction via the DRH-1/RIG-I homologue RNA helicase and the EOL-1/RNA decapping enzyme
Kai Mao, Peter C. Breen, Gary Ruvkun
This study shows that mitochondrial dysfunction in C. elegans activates RNAi through a pathway similar to the mammalian RIG-I response, involving DRH-1 and EOL-1, and contributes to increased longevity.
