Human Cytomegalovirus 86-Kilodalton IE2 Protein Blocks Cell Cycle Progression in G 1
1 Nov 1999
Abstract excerpt
The 86-kDa IE2 protein of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an important regulator of viral and host cell gene expression. Still, besides its function as a transcription factor, little is known about the biological activities of IE2. Here, we show that IE2 can induce a G(1) arrest in several different cell lines, including HCMV-permissive U-373 cells. The known transcriptional activation domains of IE2 are...
