| UniProt functional annotation for P09713 | |||
| UniProt code: P09713. |
| Organism: | Human cytomegalovirus (strain AD169) (HHV-5) (Human herpesvirus 5). | |
| Taxonomy: | Viruses; Duplodnaviria; Heunggongvirae; Peploviricota; Herviviricetes; Herpesvirales; Herpesviridae; Betaherpesvirinae; Cytomegalovirus. | |
| Function: | Participates in the inhibition of the host immune response. Early protein that redirects newly synthesized major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chains via the SEC61 translocon to the cytosol where they undergo proteasome-dependent destruction (PubMed:19121997). In consequence, infected cells are masked for immune recognition by cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Seems so far to be specific for HLA-A, HLA-B, and HFE loci products. Does not interact with HLA-DR or HLA-DM. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16098592, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19121997, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8945469}. | |
| Subunit: | Monomer (Probable). Interacts with host TRAM1 (PubMed:19121997). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19121997, ECO:0000305}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Host endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11790769}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11790769}. | |
| Developmental stage: | Expressed at early period of virus infection. | |
| Domain: | The lumenal domain allows tight interaction with class I molecules encoded by the HLA-A locus. | |
| Ptm: | The signal sequence is not cleaved. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the cytomegalovirus US2 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
