CC -!- FUNCTION: Multifunctional regulator of the expression of viral CC genes that mediates nuclear export of viral intronless mRNAs. This CC immediate early (EI) protein promotes the nuclear export of viral CC intronless mRNAs by interacting with mRNAs and host NXF1/TAP (By CC similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19924249, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:9261438}. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer. Homodimerization is required for CC transactivation. Associates in a complex with RNA, and host export CC factors NXF1/TAP and ALYREF; these interactions allow nuclear CC export of viral transcripts. Interacts with three host shuttling CC SR proteins SRSF1, SRSF3 and SRSF7. Interacts with host SRPK1. CC Interacts with IE62; this interaction enhances IE62 CC transactivation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10873781, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:10889190, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19924249}. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Host cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Host nucleus CC {ECO:0000250}. Note=Shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm CC (Probable). IE4 utilizes, at least, XPO1/CRM1 as a cofactor for CC nuclear export. {ECO:0000305}. CC -!- DOMAIN: Binds viral intronless RNAs and SR proteins through the CC Arg-rich region. CC -!- PTM: Phosphorylated in vitro by SRPK1. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the HHV-1 ICP27 protein family. CC {ECO:0000305}.
