metabolism | the interferon-inducible antiviral state is mediated in part by the 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetase/RNase L system | Mus musculus |
physiological function | direct activation of the enzyme by transfection with 2',5'-oligoadenylate induces IFN-beta in embryonic fibroblasts but not in macrophages, RNA damage from the enzyme in virus-infected macrophages is likely responsible for reducing IFN-beta production. Apoptosis is known to occur in cells that sustain high levels of RNA damage due to RNase L enzyme activity | Mus musculus |
