The enzyme is activated by binding to double-stranded RNA. The resulting product binds to and activates RNase L, which subsequently degrades the RNA. Oligoadenylates of chain lengths 2, 4 and 5 are also produced. The dimer does not have any known biological activity .

2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthases are activated by viral double-stranded RNA in infected cells and initiate a cellular response by synthesizing 2'-5'-oligoadenylates, which in turn activate RNase L. All mammalian OAS proteins require dsRNA for activity ssRNA or DNA does not activate this class of enzymes. The dsRNA activator must be at least 15 nucleotides long, and no modification of the 2'-hydroxyl group is tolerated. OAS1 RNA activation site structure, overview
conserved catalytic mechanism for the 2'- and 3'-specific nucleotidyl transferases. specific nucleotidyl transferases. Comparison with structures of other superfamily members indicates that the donor substrates are bound by conserved active site features while the acceptor substrates are oriented by nonconserved regions
mutation of the conserved Leu3 and Pro7 and of Cys330, Cys331, and Lys332 reduce enzyme activity. Mutants S62A and S63A display Michaelis-Menten kinetics toward NAD+, the kcat of the Ser62Ala mutant is approximately 3fold lower than the kcat for either the wild-type or the S63A mutant
2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthases are interferon-induced, double-stranded RNA-activated antiviral enzymes which are the only proteins known to catalyze 2'-specific nucleotidyl transfer

OAS1, purified recombinant porcine OAS1, 1.5 mg/ml protein in 50 mM NaCl, 10 mM HEPES, pH 6.8, 0.5 mM EDTA, with 5 mM of iodoacetamide for 30 min at room temperature, then concentrated to 6 mg/ml for crystallization by vapor diffusion, best crystals grow at 20°C in 1:1 drops with a well solution of 30% PEG 2000 MME, 0.2 M ammonium sulfate, and 0.1 M sodium cacodylate at pH 6, X-ray diffraction structure determination and analysis at 2.2 A resolution, molecular replacement
the mutant has strongly impaired catalytic activity, KM for ATP is increased by almost 4fold relative to that of the wild-type protein, and kcat is decreased by roughly 8fold
