RIG-I detects invading viral RNA and activates the transcription factors NF-κB and IRF3 through the mitochondrial protein MAVS. Here we show that RNA bearing 5′-triphosphate strongly activates the RIG-I–IRF3 signaling cascade in a reconstituted system composed of RIG-I, mitochondria and cytosol. Activation of RIG-I requires not only RNA, but also polyubiquitin chains linked through lysine-63 (K63) of ubiquitin. RIG-I binds specifically to K63 polyubiquitin chains through its tandem CARD domains in a manner that depends on RNA and ATP. Mutations in the CARD domains that abrogate ubiquitin binding also impair RIG-I activation. Remarkably, unanchored K63 ubiquitin chains, which are not conjugated to any target protein, potently activate RIG-I. These ubiquitin chains function as an endogenous ligand of RIG-I in human cells. Our results delineate the mechanism of RIG-I activation, identify CARD domains as a new ubiquitin sensor, and demonstrate that unanchored K63 polyubiquitin chains are signaling molecules in antiviral innate immunity.
