Plays a role in the inhibition of host innate immunity by inducing the degradation of key host factors required to activate interferon production such as IRF3, IRF5 or IRF7. Associates with components of cullin RING ligases (CRLs) including CUL1 or CUL3, which are essential multisubunit ubiquitination complexes, to modulate their activities. Recognizes the host NF-kappa-B regulator BTRC through the presence of a DSGXS motif in the C-terminal substrate recognition domain
