Introduction | OAS1 enzyme is a member of the 2’,5’-oligoadenylate synthetase family. OAS1 is induced by interferons and uses adenosine triphosphate in 2’-specific nucleotidyl transfer reactions to synthesize 2’,5’-oligoadenylates(2-5As). These molecules in turn activate latent RNase L resulting in viral RNA degradation and the inhibition of viral replication. OAS1 may have a role in mediating resistance to virus infection, control of cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. OAS1 binds double-stranded RNA and polymerizes ATP into PPP (A2'P5'A)N oligomers, which activate the latent RNase L that, once activated, cleaves single-stranded RNAs. OAS1 gene mutations are been linked to host susceptibility to viral infection. OSA1 gene polymorphisms are linked to the outcome of hepatitis C virus infection. Furthermore, OAS1 gene polymorphisms are linked to the susceptibility to severe acute respiratory syndrome. |
