Abstract excerpt
2'-5'-Oligoadenylate (2-5(A)) synthetases are a family of interferon-induced enzymes that are activated by double-stranded RNA. To understand why, unlike other DNA and RNA polymerases, they catalyze 2'-5' instead of 3'-5' phosphodiester bond formation, we used molecular modeling to compare the structure of the catalytic domain of DNA polymerase beta (pol beta) to that of a region of the P69 isozyme of 2-5(A)...
