The encoded protein is induced by interferons and uses adenosine triphosphate in 2'-specific nucleotidyl transfer reactions to synthesize 2',5'-oligoadenylates (2-5As). These molecules activate latent RNase L, which results in viral RNA degradation and the inhibition of viral replication. The three known members of this gene family are located in a cluster on chromosome 12. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

In addition, it may also play a role in other cellular processes such as apoptosis, cell growth, differentiation and gene regulation. Synthesizes higher oligomers of 2'-5'-oligoadenylates (2-5A) from ATP which then bind to the inactive monomeric form of ribonuclease L (RNase L) leading to its dimerization and subsequent activation. Activation of RNase L leads to degradation of cellular as well as viral RNA, resulting in the inhibition of protein synthesis, thus terminating viral replication. Can mediate the antiviral effect via the classical RNase L-dependent pathway or an alternative antiviral pathway independent of RNase L. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10464285, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19923450, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9880569}. <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='Pfam_Domains'>Pfam Domains</button> <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='GO_terms'>GO Terms</button> <modal id='Pfam_Domains' size='lg' title='Pfam Domains'> |NTP transf 2| |OAS1 C| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |2-5-oligoadenylate synthetase activity| |regulation of lactation| |regulation of ribonuclease activity| |regulation of nuclease activity| |cellular response to type I interferon| |type I interferon signaling pathway| |response to type I interferon| |double-stranded RNA binding| |interferon-gamma-mediated signaling pathway| |cellular response to interferon-gamma| |response to interferon-gamma| |defense response to virus| |RNA catabolic process| |response to virus| |nucleobase-containing compound catabolic process| |heterocycle catabolic process| |cellular nitrogen compound catabolic process| |aromatic compound catabolic process| |organic cyclic compound catabolic process| |regulation of body fluid levels| |cytokine-mediated signaling pathway| |intracellular membrane-bounded organelle| |response to bacterium| |perinuclear region of cytoplasm| |innate immune response| |regulation of secretion| |cellular macromolecule catabolic process| |defense response to other organism| |cellular response to cytokine stimulus| |macromolecule catabolic process| |immune effector process| |response to cytokine| |regulation of hydrolase activity| |response to other organism| |response to external biotic stimulus| |response to biotic stimulus| |defense response| |ATP binding| |RNA metabolic process| |organic substance catabolic process| |cellular catabolic process| |regulation of transport| |immune response| |membrane| </modal> \\ === CRISPR Data === <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Compound_Hit'>Compound Hit</button> <button type='default' size='small' modal='Most_Correlated_Genes'>Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics</button> <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Essential_Avana'>Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)</button> <modal id='Compound_Hit' size='lg' title='Compound Hit'> ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp249|Vinorelbine 0.001μM R05 exp249]]|1.7| |[[:results:exp59|UMK57 1μM R01 exp59]]|1.83| </modal> <modal id='Most_Correlated_Genes' size='lg' title='Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics'> No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics. </modal> <modal id='Essential_Avana' size='lg' title='Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)'> Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 11624 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: 5.21 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='OAS2 Expression in NALM6 Cells: 5.21'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2026/01/07 22:36by 127.0.0.1
