ISG20, a New Interferon-induced RNase Specific for Single-stranded RNA, Defines an Alternative Antiviral Pathway against RNA Genomic Viruses
25 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
Interferons (IFNs) encode a family of secreted proteins that provide the front-line defense against viral infections. Their diverse biological actions are thought to be mediated by the products of specific but usually overlapping sets of cellular genes induced in the target cells. We have recently isolated a new human IFN-induced gene that we have termed ISG20, which codes for a 3' to 5' exonuclease with...
