Distinct Antiviral Roles for Human 2′,5′-Oligoadenylate Synthetase Family Members against Dengue Virus Infection
18 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
The 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS) and its downstream effector RNase L play important roles in host defense against virus infection. Oas1b, one of the eight Oas1 genes in the mouse genome, has been identified as a murine flavivirus-resistance gene. Four genes, OAS1, OAS2, OAS3, and OAS-like (OASL), have been identified in the human OAS gene family, and 10 isoforms, including OAS1 (p42, p44, p46, p48, and...
