== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RN5A_HUMAN RN5A_HUMAN] Defects in RNASEL are a cause of susceptibility to prostate cancer hereditary type 1 (HPC1) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/601518 601518]. It is a condition associated with familial predisposition to cancer of the prostate. Most prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas that develop in the acini of the prostatic ducts. Other rare histopathologic types of prostate cancer that occur in approximately 5% of patients include small cell carcinoma, mucinous carcinoma, prostatic ductal carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma (basaloid), signet-ring cell carcinoma and neuroendocrine carcinoma.
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RN5A_HUMAN RN5A_HUMAN] Endoribonuclease that functions in the interferon (IFN) antiviral response. In INF treated and virus infected cells, RNASEL probably mediates its antiviral effects through a combination of direct cleavage of single-stranded viral RNAs, inhibition of protein synthesis through the degradation of rRNA, induction of apoptosis, and induction of other antiviral genes. RNASEL mediated apoptosis is the result of a JNK-dependent stress-response pathway leading to cytochrome c release from mitochondria and caspase-dependent apoptosis. Therefore, activation of RNASEL could lead to elimination of virus infected cells under some circumstances. Might play a central role in the regulation of mRNA turnover.<ref>PMID:11585831</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
An interferon-induced endoribonuclease, ribonuclease L (RNase L), is implicated in both the molecular mechanism of action of interferon and the fundamental control of RNA stability in mammalian cells. RNase L is catalytically active only after binding to an unusual activator molecule containing a 5'-phosphorylated 2',5'-linked oligoadenylate (2-5A), in the N-terminal half. Here, we report the crystal structure of the N-terminal ankyrin repeat domain (ANK) of human RNase L complexed with the activator 2-5A. This is the first structural view of an ankyrin repeat structure directly interacting with a nucleic acid, rather than with a protein. The ANK domain folds into eight ankyrin repeat elements and forms an extended curved structure with a concave surface. The 2-5A molecule is accommodated at a concave site and directly interacts with ankyrin repeats 2-4. Interestingly, two structurally equivalent 2-5A binding motifs are found at repeats 2 and 4. The structural basis for 2-5A recognition by ANK is essential for designing stable 2-5As with a high likelihood of activating RNase L.
