Function

Function:
Interferon-induced antiviral exoribonuclease that acts on single-stranded RNA and also has minor activity towards single-stranded DNA. Exhibits antiviral activity against RNA viruses including hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis A virus (HAV) and yellow fever virus (YFV) in an exonuclease-dependent manner. May also play additional roles in the maturation of snRNAs and rRNAs, and in ribosome biogenesis.
Catalytic Activity:
Exonucleolytic cleavage in the 3'- to 5'-direction to yield nucleoside 5'-phosphates.
Cofactor:
