Membrane-associated protein VP24

UniProtKB accession:  Q05322

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Prevents the establishment of cellular antiviral state by blocking the interferon-alpha/beta (IFN-alpha/beta) and IFN-gamma signaling pathways. Blocks the IFN-induced nuclear accumulation of host phosphorylated STAT1 by interacting with the STAT1-binding region of host importins. Alternatively interacts also directly with host STAT1 and may additionally inhibit its non-phosphorylated form. Plays a role in assembly of viral nucleocapsid and virion budding. May act as a minor matrix protein that plays a role in assembly of viral nucleocapsid and virion budding.
