Activity summary

C19orf66 also known as Shiftless or C6orf166 is a protein with a molecular mass of approximately 27 kDa. It functions as an inhibitor of viral RNA replication. Research shows that C19orf66 disrupts viral protein synthesis by interacting with viral factors and initiating their degradation making it important for antiviral defense. This protein is expressed in various tissues with high levels detected in immune-related cells suggesting its role in innate immune response.

Biological function summary

C19orf66 plays an essential role in modulating immune response against viral pathogens. Its action involves the inhibition of viral replication which helps in controlling the spread of the infection within the host. C19orf66 does not typically form part of large protein complexes but it exerts its effect through direct interaction with viral components preventing their proper assembly and function.

Pathways

C19orf66 is involved in important antiviral defense mechanisms including those that overlap with the interferon signaling pathway. This protein interacts with interferon-stimulated genes enhancing the host's capability to limit viral infections. Although not directly part of an extensive pathway like NF-kB or MAPK C19orf66 contributes to antiviral defense through its relationship with proteins that are engaged by these pathways during immune responses.

Associated diseases and disorders

C19orf66 shows implications in viral infections and may play a role in diseases where the immune response is compromised such as chronic viral infections. It has a functional connection with viral proteins which aids in limiting the replication and persistence of viruses. Studies explore its potential usefulness as a therapeutic target especially considering its ability to inhibit the replication of various viruses without directly impacting host cellular machinery.
