Recurrent loss-of-function mutations reveal costs to OAS1 antiviral activity in primates
2018-05-18
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Immune responses counteract infections and can also cause collateral damage to hosts. We investigated functional outcomes of variation in the rapidly evolving antiviral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) sensing factor Oligoadenylate Synthetase 1 (OAS1) in primates as a model for understanding how individual immune pathways evolve to minimize deleterious effects on host fitness. Upon binding of dsRNAs,...
