Apoptosis in Coxsackievirus B3-Caused Diseases: Interaction between the Capsid Protein VP2 and the Proapoptotic Protein Siva
1 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is a common factor in human myocarditis. Apoptotic events are present in CVB3-induced disease, but it is unclear how CVB3 is involved in apoptosis and which viral proteins may induce the apoptotic pathway. In this report we demonstrate that the human and murine proapoptotic protein Siva specifically interact with the CVB3 capsid protein VP2. Furthermore, the transcription of Siva is...
