Evolution of the 2′-5′-Oligoadenylate Synthetase Family in Eukaryotes and Bacteria

Abstract: The 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS) belongs to a nucleotidyl transferase family that includes poly(A) polymerases and CCA-adding enzymes. In mammals and birds, the OAS functions in the interferon system but it is also present in an active form in sponges, which are devoid of the interferon system. In view of these observations, we have pursued the idea that OAS genes could be present in other metazoans and in unicellular organisms as well. We have identified a number of OAS1 genes in annelids, mollusks, … Show more

“…OAS family proteins exhibit antiviral effects against various viruses (i.e. DENV, WNV, HCV and JEV) through RNase L-dependent and RIG-dependent (RNase Lindependent) signalling pathways [52,53]. A member of the OAS superfamily, only the OASL protein, but not the OAS protein, has been identified in birds [54][55][56].…”

“…The European Food Safety Authority reserves its rights, view and position as regards the issues addressed and the conclusions reached in the present document, without prejudice to the rights of the authors. Molluscs have 2'5'-oligoadenylate synthetases (Kjaer et al, 2009;Pari et al, 2014), RIG-I-like protein , MDA5 (Green et al, 2014), and PKR (Green and Montagnani, 2013;Green et al, 2014;Green et al, 2015b). Poly I:C can be also bound by Leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-only protein found in scallop Chlamys farreri Wang et al, 2016c).…”

“…Although it was initially believed that larger isoforms like OAS2 and OAS3 are only present in mammals, homologs of larger OAS enzymes have now been reported in primitive life forms like sponges and metazoan [219--221]. Interestingly fish, sharks and many insect varieties gave don't appear to contain OAS homologs [220].…”
