Specifically, BCA2 serves as an E3 SUMO ligase in the SUMOylation of IkappaBalpha, which in turn enhances the sequestration of NF-kappaB components in the cytoplasm. Since HIV-1 utilizes NF-kappaB to promote proviral transcription, the BCA2-mediated inhibition of NF-kappaB significantly decreases the transcriptional activity of HIV-1.

Protein interactions

Protein	Gene	Interaction	Pubs
Pr55(Gag)	gag	Increased levels of ubiquitinated BCA2 are found in the presence of HIV-1 Gag, suggesting that the auto-ubiquitination activity of BCA2 increases in the absence of target proteins	PubMed
	gag	Replacement of cysteine residues at positions 228 and 231 with alanine in the E3 catalytic domain of BCA2 has no defect in Gag expression or processing, indicating that residues 228 and 231 are required for the antiviral activity of BCA2	PubMed
	gag	A ligase-dead mutant deltaRING-BCA2 has no defect in Gag expression or processing, indicating that the intact RING-domain is required for the antiviral activity of BCA2	PubMed
	gag	BCA2 has tetherin-independent antiviral activity, which results in a defect in either Gag expression or processing, impairing virus assembly and release for both HIV-1 and SIV	PubMed
	gag	BCA2 promotes the lysosomal degradation of HIV-1 and SIV Gag proteins and induces changes in the subcellular distribution of Gag	PubMed
	gag	Results from co-immunoprecipitation assays indicate that the N-terminal region (residues 1-147) of BCA2 physically interacts with the MA region (residues 1-165) of HIV-1 Gag	PubMed
	gag	BCA2 induces ubiquitination of both HIV-1 and SIV Gag proteins, resulting in lysine residues K113, K114, and K418 in HIV-1 Gag, and K360 and K419 residues in SIV Gag that are ubiquinated	PubMed
	gag	BCA2 co-localizes with HIV-1 Gag in in CD63+ endosomes/lysosomes	PubMed
Vpu	vpu	HIV-1 Vpu antagonizes the effects of BCA2 on HIV-1 particle production in ""tetherin-positive"" cells	PubMed
capsid	gag	A significant downregulation in the levels of virion-associated CA is observed in cells expressing BCA2 for both wild-type HIV-1 and Vpu-deficient HIV-1	PubMed
matrix	gag	Results from co-immunoprecipitation assays indicate that the N-terminal region (residues 1-147) of BCA2 physically interacts with HIV-1 MA but not CA and NC proteins	PubMed

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
