Structural Basis for OAS2 Regulation and its Antiviral Function
2025-01-28
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS) proteins are immune sensors for double-stranded RNA and critical for restricting viruses. OAS2 comprises two OAS domains, only one of which can synthesize 2’-5’-oligoadenylates for RNase L activation. Existing structures of OAS1 provide a model for enzyme activation, but do not explain how multiple OAS domains discriminate RNA length. Here, we discover that OAS2 ex...
