ABCE1 (RNS4I, RLI) is a mediator of the 2-5A/RNase L pathway. The 2-5A/ RNase L system is considered an essential pathway of interferon (IFN) action. In the pathway, IFN stimulation activates 2-5A synthetases which convert ATP into a set of atypical oligomers known as 2-5A. These oligomers in turn activate RNase L (RNS4), which leads to inhibition of protein synthesis by cleaving mRNAs at the 3-prime side of UpNp sequences. This inhibition ne-cessitates the association of ABCE1 with RNase L and is dependent on the ratio between the two proteins. The 2-5A/RNase L system could also play a more general physiological role, for instance, in the regulation of RNA stability in mammalian cells.
