The monomer-to-filament transition of MAVS is essential for the RIG-I/MDA5-mediated antiviral signaling. In quiescent cells, monomeric MAVS is under strict regulation for preventing its spontaneous aggregation, which would result in dysregulated interferon (IFN-α/β) production and autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus. However, the detailed mechanism by which MAVS is kept from spontaneous aggregation remains largely unclear. Here, we show that upstream open reading frames (uORFs) within the MAVS transcripts exert a pos
