Organism
Vaccinia virus (strain Copenhagen)
Function
Bcl-2-like protein which, through its interaction with the DEAD box RNA helicase DDX3X/DDX3, prevents TBK1/IKKepsilon-mediated IRF3 activation. Contributes to virulence by binding to the host TRAF6 and IRAK2 and preventing host NF-kappa-B activation (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the poxviridae K7 protein family.
