| Tissue Specificity | Expressed at higher levels in atherosclerotic arteries than in normal arteries. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Acetylated by HAT1. HAT1-mediated acetylation of Lys-198 in turn recruits UBE4A that stimulates RSAD2 polyubiquitination leading to proteasomal degradation. 'Lys-6'-linked polyubiquitination at Lys-207 leads to RSAD2 protein degradation. |
| Function | Interferon-inducible antiviral protein which plays a major role in the cell antiviral state induced by type I and type II interferon. Catalyzes the conversion of cytidine triphosphate (CTP) to 3'-deoxy-3',4'-didehydro-CTP (ddhCTP) via a SAM-dependent radical mechanism. In turn, ddhCTP acts as a chain terminator for the RNA-dependent RNA polymerases from multiple viruses and directly inhibits viral replication. Therefore, inhibits a wide range of DNA and RNA viruses. Promotes also TLR7 and TLR9-dependent production of IFN-beta production in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) by facilitating 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitination of IRAK1 by TRAF6. Plays a role in CD4+ T-cells activation and differentiation. Facilitates T-cell receptor (TCR)-mediated GATA3 activation and optimal T-helper 2 (Th2) cytokine production by modulating NFKB1 and JUNB activities. Can inhibit secretion of soluble proteins. |
