UniProtKB description:  E3 ligase that plays essential roles in innate antiviral response (PubMed:28169297, PubMed:29760876, PubMed:29899090, PubMed:31979016). Directly binds to influenza A virus or vesicular stomatitis virus nucleoproteins and targets them for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, thereby limiting viral infections (PubMed:29899090, PubMed:31979016, PubMed:28169297). Activates the innate antiviral response by catalyzing monoubiquitination of CGAS, thereby activating CGAS (PubMed:29760876). Also involved in innate antiviral response by mediating 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitylation of BCL10 which in turn hubs NEMO for activation of NF-kappa-B and IRF3 pathways (By similarity). Catalyzes the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of other substrates including protein kinase C, ZSCAN21 or TOP3B suggesting additional roles besides its function in immune response (PubMed:17893151, PubMed:33378676).
