| UniProt functional annotation for P68466 | |||
| UniProt code: P68466. |
| Organism: | Vaccinia virus (strain Western Reserve) (VACV) (Vaccinia virus (strain WR)). | |
| Taxonomy: | Viruses; Varidnaviria; Bamfordvirae; Nucleocytoviricota; Pokkesviricetes; Chitovirales; Poxviridae; Chordopoxvirinae; Orthopoxvirus; Vaccinia virus. | |
| 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. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with DDDX3; this interaction inhibits DDX3 and suppresses DDX3-mediated IFN-beta promoter induction. Interacts with TRAF6 and IRAK2; these interactions suppress TLR-dependent NF-KappaB activation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18636090, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19913487}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the poxviridae K7 protein family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
