Facts about 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthase 2.
Activation of RNASEL leads to degradation of cellular as well as viral RNA, leading to the inhibition of protein synthesis, thus terminating viral replication (PubMed:10464285, PubMed:9880569). Can mediate the antiviral effect via the classical RNASEL-dependent pathway or another antiviral pathway independent of RNASEL (PubMed:21142819).
