Structural basis for saccharide binding by human RNase 2/EDN, a protein combining enzymatic and lectin properties

Xincheng Kang, Guillem Prats-Ejarque, Ester Boix, J. R. Li

This paper identifies seven sugar-binding sites on human RNase 2/EDN through crystallography and molecular modeling, revealing its lectin properties and structural basis for saccharide recognition.

Human RNase 2 is essential for macrophage response to viral RNA

J. R. Li, Lu Lu, Raúl Anguita…·Ester Boix

This study shows RNase 2 is essential for macrophage antiviral response and homeostasis, with loss of RNase 2 leading to stress response and impaired antiviral immunity.
