Characterization of the 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase ubiquitin-like family
10 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
The interferon-induced 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetases (OAS) are important for the antiviral activity of interferons. The human and murine OAS gene families each contain four genes: OAS1, OAS2, OAS3 and OASL, all having one or more conserved OAS units composed of five translated exons. The OASL gene has both an OAS unit and a C-terminus of two ubiquitin-like repeats. In this study, we demonstrate that murine...
