Abstract excerpt
The induction of a transformed cellular phenotype by viruses requires the modulation of signaling pathways through viral proteins. We show here that the phenotypic changes induced by the kaposin A protein of human herpesvirus 8 are mediated through its direct interaction with cytohesin-1, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for ARF GTPases and regulator of integrin-mediated cell adhesion. Focus formation, stress...
