Genome polyprotein

UniProtKB accession:  A2I7M2

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Autocatalytically cleaves itself from the polyprotein at the L/VP0 junction. Also cleaves the host translation initiation factors EIF4G1 and EIF4G3, in order to shut off the capped cellular mRNA transcription. Plays a role in counteracting host innate antiviral response using diverse mechanisms. Possesses a deubiquitinase activity acting on both 'Lys-48' and 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains. In turn, inhibits the ubiquitination and subsequent activation of key signaling molecules of type I IFN response such as host RIGI, TBK1, TRAF3 and TRAF6. Inhibits host NF-kappa-B activity by inducing a decrease in RELA mRNA levels. Cleaves a peptide bond in the C-terminus of host ISG15, resulting in the damaging of this modifier that can no longer be attached to target proteins. Also cleaves host G3BP1 and G3BP2 in order to inhibit cytoplasmic stress granules assembly.
