Acts during the initial stages of lytic infection and the reactivation of latent viral genome. Prevents the antiviral effect of nuclear bodies by degrading host PML, SP100 and MORC3. Prevents antiviral response to viral DNA induced by IFI16 by degrading it. Additionally, inhibits host IRF3 nuclear signaling to prevent interferon production by the infected cells. Interestingly, the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity associated with the RING finger domain does not seem to be directly required to inhibit the activation of IRF3 but instead plays a critical role in modulating the cellular localization of ICP0. Upon reactivation of latent genome, suppresses the silencing of viral DNA by dissociating either HDAC1 or HDAC2 from the HDAC-RCOR1-REST-KDM1A complex localized at the ND10 structures and causes their dispersal. Two cellular histone ubiquitin ligases RNF8 and RNF168 are also targeted by ICP0 for degradation, leading to a loss of ubiquitinated forms of H2A, a relief of transcriptional repression, and the activation of latent viral genomes. Enhances the localization of host CCND3 to ND10 bodies that serve as precursors of replication compartments to enable efficient viral replication. Like many RING-finger E3 ubiquitin ligases, ICP0 can induce its own ubiquitination, an activity that promotes its instability due to its targeting to the 26S proteasome for degradation. ICP0 restricts this process by recruiting the cellular ubiquitin-specific protease USP7 that cleaves the anchored ubiquitin chains from ICP0, thereby promoting its stabilization.. When interpreting results, consider species context, domain architecture, and whether the recombinant format represents full-length or a defined region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntigen and virulence-factor studies that compare strain- or domain-specific binding and immune recognition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse of recombinant proteins as standards for quantitative assays and serology-oriented method development.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding and interaction assays:\u003c\/strong\u003e quantify partner binding and rank conditions using plate-based formats or biophysical methods (SPR\/BLI).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnzymology:\u003c\/strong\u003e assess catalytic activity and compare substrate preferences or inhibitor effects using appropriate controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssay development:\u003c\/strong\u003e use as a standard, spike-in control, or positive control where consistent specifications are required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpretation typically relies on relative comparisons (treated vs control, mutant vs wild-type, or dose\/time series) using consistent sample handling and appropriate normalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-translational modifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e expression system can affect glycosylation and processing; interpret differences cautiously when comparing to native protein.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsoforms and domains:\u003c\/strong\u003e expressed regions may not capture all isoform-specific features; match fragment boundaries to your assay’s binding site.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e include blank matrix controls, tag-only controls (where relevant), and orthogonal readouts (e.g., WB\/qPCR\/ELISA) to support interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt Knowledgebase entry for ICP0 — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/ - NCBI Gene for ICP0 — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/ - RCSB Protein Data Bank — RCSB PDB — https:\/\/www.rcsb.org\/ - PubMed (reviews and primary literature) — NCBI — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/ - Ensembl gene summary — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/ --\u003e","brand":"CUSABIO TECHNOLOGY LLC","offers":[{"title":"1 mg","offer_id":53058996765037,"sku":"CSB-EP362415HWY-1MG","price":2466.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug","offer_id":53059100148077,"sku":"CSB-EP362415HWY-100UG","price":729.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 ug","offer_id":53059100180845,"sku":"CSB-EP362415HWY-20UG","price":388.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/CSB-EP362415HWY-SDS.jpg?v=1772271089","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/recombinant-human-herpesvirus-1-e3-ubiquitin-protein-ligase-icp0-icp0-partial-bhp10511743","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
