Summary
Nlrx1 deletion leads to constitutive interaction of Mavs and Ddx58, resulting in increased inflammation. Nlrx1 knockout mice showed increased expression of antiviral signalling molecules such as Ifnb, Stat2, Oas1 and Il6 after influenza infection. In addition to attenuating the antiviral response, Nlrx1 directly associates with Traf6 and inhibits NFkB pathway in LPS-activated macrophages.
Nlrx1 negatively regulates TLR-mediated NFkB activation by directly interacting with Traf6 or IKK kinase. Nlrx1 knockdown in mice enhances their susceptibility to LPS-induced septic shock and increases plasma Il6 levels.
Nlrx1 attenuates type I IFN production and promotes autophagy during viral infection. (Demonstrated in human)
Nlrx1 attenuates macrophage/microglial inflammatory activities and protects against experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis caused by autoreactive T cells.

Summary
[Homo sapiens] NLRX1 is an amplifier of ROS generation and an inhibitor of antiviral mitochondrial signalling with markedly increased IFN-β responses in cells with down-regulated NLRX1 expression.
[Homo sapiens] NLRX1 depletion via siRNA promotes virus-induced type 1 interferon production and decreases viral replication.
[Homo sapiens] NLRX1 is an important regulator of the type I interferon (IFN) response, and prevents MAVS from signalling the activation of a type I IFN response by the RNA helicases
