EC 2.7.7.84     
Accepted name: 2′-5′ oligoadenylate synthase
Reaction: 3 ATP = pppA2′p5’A2′p5’A + 2 diphosphate
Glossary: pppA2′p5’A2′p5’A = 5′-triphosphoadenylyl-(2′→5′)-adenylyl-(2′→5′)-adenosine
Other name(s): OAS
Systematic name: ATP:ATP adenylyltransferase (2′-5′ linkages-forming)
Comments: 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].
