InnateDB Annotation
Summary
Rnasel cleaves RNA during viral infections and the cleavage products induces the RIG-I pathway and production of Ifnb gene. In addition, Rnasel is implicated in the protection of central nervous system against viral-induced demyelination. A broader role in innate immunity is suggested by involvement of Rnasel in cytokine induction and endosomal pathways that suppress bacterial infections.
RNASEL contributes to innate immunity through regulating macrophage functions.
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
[Homo sapiens] RNASEL, antiviral endoribonuclease, is the terminal component of an RNA decay pathway that is an important mediator of IFN-induced antiviral activity and is required for the optimal induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines that play essential roles in host defence from bacterial pathogens.
[Homo sapiens] RNASEL regulates the expression of the endolysosomal protease, cathepsin-E, and endosome-associated activities, that function to eliminate internalized bacteria and may contribute to RNASEL antimicrobial action.
[Homo sapiens] RNASEL-mediated cleavage of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA generates suppressor of virus RNA (svRNA) that activates DDX58 (RIG-I), thus propagating innate immune signalling to the interferon (IFN)-beta gene.
[Homo sapiens] RNASEL cleaves RNA during viral infections and the cleavage products induces the RIG-I pathway and production of IFNB gene. In addition, RNASEL is implicated in the protection of central nervous system against viral-induced demyelination. A broader role in innate immunity is suggested by involvement of RNASEL in cytokine induction and endosomal pathways that suppress bacterial infections.
[Homo sapiens] RNA cleavage products, catalyzed by RNASEL, bind to DHX33 to facilitate the formation of a complex with MAVS and NLRP3 during viral infection.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000135828:
This gene encodes a component of the interferon-regulated 2-5A system that functions in the antiviral and antiproliferative roles of interferons. Mutations in this gene have been associated with predisposition to prostate cancer and this gene is a candidate for the hereditary prostate cancer 1 (HPC1) allele. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
