EC 2.7.7.84 Details
EC number
2.7.7.84
Accepted name
2′-5′ oligoadenylate synthase
Reaction
3 ATP = pppA2′p5’A2′p5’A + 2 diphosphate
Other name(s)
OAS
Systematic name
ATP:ATP adenylyltransferase (2′-5′ linkages-forming)
Comment
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].
