Affinity labeling of (2'-5')-oligoadenylate-activated endonuclease with (32P)-2', 5'A and its analogs

This paper examines the role interferons play in the origin of the antiviral state of cells and in the inhibition of virus reproduction. Treatment of cells with interferon induces the synthesis of a whole series of proteins. For affinity labeling of 2', 5'A-dependent endoribonuclease, the authors synthesized P-32 labeled 2; 5'A by two methods. Results of the investigation show that the most probable candidate for 2', 5'A-dependent endoribonuclease is the protein with molecular weight 80,000. The role of the other two proteins is still unknown
