Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: N/A
  • UniProt Summary: Interferon (IFN)-induced antiviral protein which acts as an inhibitor of retrovirus protein synthesis. Specifically abrogates the production of retroviruses such as human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) by acting as a specific inhibitor of the synthesis of retroviruses encoded proteins in a codon- usage-dependent manner. Binds to tRNAs and exploits the unique viral codon bias towards A/T nucleotides. The exact inhibition mechanism is unclear: may either sequesters tRNAs, prevents their maturation via post-transcriptional processing or accelerates their deacylation. Does not inhibit reverse transcription, integration or production and nuclear export of viral RNA. May play a role in cell cycle arrest and/or induction of apoptosis in response to exogenously induced DNA damage. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22927417, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23000900}.
