Abstract excerpt
2'-5'-Oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS), an interferon (IFN) induced enzyme, synthesizes 2'-5'-oligoadenylate (2-5A) from ATP when activated by dsRNA. Chicken OAS (ChOAS) has a ubiquitin-like (UbL) domain of two consecutive sequences (UbL1 and UbL2) at its carboxyl-terminus. The OAS gene has at least two alleles, OAS*A and OAS*B. OAS-A is the wild-type (wt) and OAS-B is a mutant deleted of a highly hydrophobic...
