AC MF_04039; DC Protein; auto TR HAMAP; MF_04039; -; 1; level=0 XX Names: HSV_CEP2 XX ID CEP2 DE RecName: Full=Cytoplasmic envelopment protein 2; DE AltName: Full=Tegument protein BGLF2; XX case CC -!- FUNCTION: Plays a critical role in cytoplasmic virus egress. CC Participates in the final step of tegumentation and envelope CC acquisition within the host cytoplasm by directly interacting with the CC capsid. Upon virion binding to target cell, a signaling cascade is CC triggered to disrupt the interaction with the capsid, thereby preparing CC capsid uncoating. Activates the AP-1 pathway and enhances EBV CC reactivation and virus release. Inhibits type I IFN-induced TYK2, STAT1 CC and STAT3 phosphorylation, thereby impairing type I IFN signaling and CC counteracting the ability of IFN-alpha to suppress the reactivation of CC EBV. Recruits SHP1 phosphatase to dephosphorylate STAT1. Mediates STAT2 CC ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Also suppresses type II and CC type III IFN signaling. Contributes to G1/S arrest in the host cell. CC Acts as an miRNA regulator that interferes with the function of RISC in CC miRNA-mediated mRNA silencing. As a result, SUMOylation is increased. CC When encapsulated in the exosomes released by EBV-infected host cells, CC may facilitate the infection in recipient cells. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer. Interacts with BBLF1. Interacts with with the CC capsid. Interacts with BKRF4 (via C-terminus); this interaction is CC important for infectious virion production. Interacts with host TYK2; CC this interaction participates to the inhibition of host type I IFN CC signaling. Interacts with host STAT1; this interaction leads to STAT1 CC dephosphorylation and inhibition. Interacts with host STAT2; this CC interaction leads to STAT2 degradation. Interacts with host CUL1; this CC interaction might facilitate CUL1 recruitment to STAT2, leading to CC ubiquitination and degradation of the latter. Interacts with host AGO2; CC this interaction participates to the host miRNA regulation leading to CC enhanced SUMOylation. CC -!- INDUCTION: Expressed in the late phase of the viral replicative cycle. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Virion tegument. Host cytoplasm. Host nucleus. CC Host Golgi apparatus, host trans-Golgi network. Note=Localizes in the CC host nucleus up to 18 hours postinfection, but at later times localizes CC to punctate, cytoplasmic structures. Associates with the capsid before CC the final envelopment. Recruited to the TGN via the interaction with CC BBLF1. Also found in the exosomes released by the host cell. else CC -!- FUNCTION: Plays a critical role in cytoplasmic virus egress.
