A Prenylated dsRNA Sensor Protects Against Severe COVID-19 and is Absent in Horseshoe Bats

2021-05-09

Abstract excerpt

Cell autonomous antiviral defenses can inhibit the replication of viruses and reduce transmission and disease severity. To better understand the antiviral response to SARS-CoV-2, we used interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) expression screening to reveal that OAS1, through RNase L, potently inhibits SARS-CoV-2. We show that while some people can express a prenylated OAS1 variant, that is membrane-associated and blocks...
