Description
Contributes to HSV resistance to the antiviral effects of alpha/beta interferon. Recruits the serine/threonine-protein phosphatase PPP1CA/PP1-alpha to dephosphorylate the translation initiation factor eIF-2A, thereby couteracting the host shutoff of protein synthesis involving double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase EIF2AK2/PKR. Also down-modulates the host MHC class II proteins cell surface expression. Acts as a neurovirulence factor that has a profound effect on the growth of the virus in central nervous system tissue, probably through its ability to maintain an environment favorable for viral replication (By similarity).
Family
Belongs to the PPP1R15 family.
Species
Human herpesvirus 2 (strain HG52)
