VACWR059

Gene
VACWR059
Protein
Protein E3
Organism
Vaccinia virus (strain Western Reserve)
Length
190 amino acids
Function
Plays a role in the inhibition of multiple cellular antiviral responses activated by dsRNA, such as inhibition of PKR activation, apoptosis, and IFN-mediated antiviral activities. Blocks also the phosphorylation and subsequent activation of IRF3 and IRF7 kinases that are required for interferon-alpha gene expression. Inhibits NF-kappa-B activation and the ubiquitin-like protein ISG15, which is an early antiviral protein. The binding with host ISG15 subsequently blocks host ISGylation.
Similarity
Belongs to the poxviridae E3 protein family.
