Innate Immune Messenger 2-5A Tethers Human RNase L into Active High-Order Complexes
2′,5′-linked oligoadenylates (2-5As) serve as conserved messengers of pathogen presence in the mammalian innate immune system. 2-5As induce self-association and activation of RNase L, which cleaves cytosolic RNA and promotes the production of interferons (IFNs) and cytokines driven by the transcrip...
