Abstract

Effector-triggered immunity involves "guarded" host processes that, when perturbed by pathogen factors, prompt a secondary response. A recent study published in Nature by Gaidt et al. demonstrates that MORC3 serves as both the guard and the guarded antiviral host factor-creating a "heads, I win; tails, you lose!" scenario.
