59 kDa 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase-like protein is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the OASL gene.{{cite journal | vauthors = Hovnanian A, Rebouillat D, Levy ER, Mattei MG, Hovanessian AG | title = The human 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetase-like gene (OASL) encoding the interferon-induced 56-kDa protein maps to chromosome 12q24.2 in the proximity of the 2',5'-OAS locus | journal = Genomics | volume = 56 | issue = 3 | pages = 362–3 |date=May 1999 | pmid = 10087211 | doi = 10.1006/geno.1998.5737 }}{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: OASL 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase-like| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=8638}}
2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthase is a protein family of structurally similar proteins, including OAS1, OAS2, and OAS3. However, mutations in the OAS domain mean it lacks the motif to allow oligomerization, preventing the synthesis of oligoadenylates. OASL, like the proteins of 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthase family, is induced by interferons.
Function
=RNA Virus Infection=
In RNA virus infection, viral genetic material binds to the RNA sensor RIG-I, triggering a reaction cascade that culminates in the secretion of type I interferons.{{cite journal | vauthors = Kell AM, Gale M | title = RIG-I in RNA virus recognition | journal = Virology | volume = 479-480 | pages = 110–121 | date = May 2015 | pmid = 25749629 | pmc = 4424084 | doi = 10.1016/j.virol.2015.02.017 }} OASL acts as a sensitiser of RIG-I, binding to the caspase activation and recruitment domain and enhancing interferon production.{{cite journal| author=Zhu J, Zhang Y, Ghosh A, Cuevas RA, Forero A, Dhar J | display-authors=etal| title=Antiviral activity of human OASL protein is mediated by enhancing signaling of the RIG-I RNA sensor. | journal=Immunity | year= 2014 | volume= 40 | issue= 6 | pages= 936–48 | pmid=24931123 | doi=10.1016/j.immuni.2014.05.007 | pmc=4101812 }}
=DNA Virus Infection=
While OASL has an anti-viral role in RNA viral infection, it has also demonstrated a pro-viral role in DNA viral infection.{{cite journal | last1=Choi | first1=Un Yung | last2=Kang | first2=Ji-Seon | last3=Hwang | first3=Yune Sahng | last4=Kim | first4=Young-Joon | title=Oligoadenylate synthase-like (OASL) proteins: dual functions and associations with diseases | journal=Experimental & Molecular Medicine | volume=47 | issue=3 | date=2015-03-06 | issn=2092-6413 | pmid=25744296 | pmc=4351405 | doi=10.1038/emm.2014.110 | pages=e144}} OASL can bind to the viral DNA sensor cGAS, inhibiting its catalytic activity and preventing the secretion of interferons.{{cite journal | last1=Rex | first1=Viktoria | last2=Stempel | first2=Markus | last3=Halle | first3=Stephan | last4=Brinkmann | first4=Melanie M | title=The two faces of oligoadenylate synthetase-like: effective antiviral protein and negative regulator of innate immunity | journal=Current Opinion in Virology | volume=60 | date=2023 | doi=10.1016/j.coviro.2023.101329 | page=101329| pmid=37079941 }}
=Intracellular Bacterial Infection=
OASL is shown to be upregulated during a wide variety of vacuolar and cytosolic bacterial infections.{{cite journal| author=Leisching G, Wiid I, Baker B| title=The Association of OASL and Type I Interferons in the Pathogenesis and Survival of Intracellular Replicating Bacterial Species. | journal=Front Cell Infect Microbiol | year= 2017 | volume= 7 | issue= | pages= 196 | pmid=28580319 | doi=10.3389/fcimb.2017.00196 | doi-access=free | pmc=5437694 }} It possesses an ability to inhibit autophagic mechanisms and antimicrobial peptide secretion within the host cell through unclear mechanisms, preventing clearance of the pathogen and creating a favourable intracellular environment.{{cite journal| author=de Toledo-Pinto TG, Ferreira AB, Ribeiro-Alves M, Rodrigues LS, Batista-Silva LR, Silva BJ | display-authors=etal| title=STING-Dependent 2'-5' Oligoadenylate Synthetase-Like Production Is Required for Intracellular Mycobacterium leprae Survival. | journal=J Infect Dis | year= 2016 | volume= 214 | issue= 2 | pages= 311–20 | pmid=27190175 | doi=10.1093/infdis/jiw144 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=27190175 }}
