UniProt functional annotation for Q15646

UniProt code: Q15646.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Does not have 2'-5'-OAS activity, but can bind double- stranded RNA. Displays antiviral activity against encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) via an alternative antiviral pathway independent of RNase L. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18931074, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20074559, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9826176}.
 
Subunit: Specifically interacts with the ligand binding domain of the thyroid receptor (TR). TRIP14 does not require the presence of thyroid hormone for its interaction. Binds MBD1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14728690}.
Subcellular location: [Isoform p56]: Nucleus, nucleolus. Cytoplasm.
Subcellular location: [Isoform p30]: Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in most tissues, with the highest levels in primary blood Leukocytes and other hematopoietic system tissues, colon, stomach and to some extent in testis.
Induction: By type I interferon (IFN) and viruses. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19203244, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20074559}.
Domain: The ubiquitin-like domains are essential for its antiviral activity.
Miscellaneous: [Isoform 3]: Has antiviral activity against RNA viruses. {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity: Belongs to the 2-5A synthase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AAC41733.1; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
