UniProtKB description:  Stimulates viral immediate-early (IE) transcription. Plays a role in the inhibition of the host innate repsonse by targeting STING1 and thus the cGAS-STING pathway (PubMed:28132838, PubMed:32581105). Counteracts also host DAXX-mediated repression of viral transcription. Displaces a DAXX-binding protein, ATRX, from nuclear domain 10 sites (ND10) shortly after infection (PubMed:18922870). Increases the basal level of SUMOylated DAXX in infected cells (PubMed:19369322). Stimulates quiescent cells to re-enter the cell cycle, proceed through G1 and enter the S phase (PubMed:12610120). Interacts with hypophosphorylated forms of RB1 and induces their degradation by the proteasome without involving ubiquitin conjugation (PubMed:12626766).
