RNA regulation of the antiviral protein 2′‐5′‐oligoadenylate synthetase

Abstract excerpt

The innate immune system is a broad collection of critical intra- and extra-cellular processes that limit the infectivity of diverse pathogens. The 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS) family of enzymes are important sensors of cytosolic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) that play a critical role in limiting viral infection by activating the latent ribonuclease (RNase L) to halt viral replication and establish an...
