ORF6 protein

UniProtKB accession:  P59634

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Disrupts bidirectional nucleocytoplasmic transport by interacting with host RAE1-NUP98 complex (PubMed:33849972). Disrupts cell nuclear import complex formation also by tethering karyopherin alpha 2 and karyopherin beta 1 to the membrane (PubMed:17596301). Retention of import factors at the ER/Golgi membrane leads to a loss of transport into the nucleus (PubMed:17596301). Thereby prevents STAT1 nuclear translocation in response to interferon signaling, thus blocking the expression of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) that display multiple antiviral activities (PubMed:17596301).
