Epstein-Barr Virus BALF1 Is a BCL-2-Like Antagonist of the Herpesvirus Antiapoptotic BCL-2 Proteins
1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
Cellular BCL-2 family proteins can inhibit or induce programmed cell death in part by counteracting the activity of other BCL-2 family members. All sequenced gammaherpesviruses encode a BCL-2 homologue that potently inhibits apoptosis and apparently escapes some of the regulatory mechanisms that govern the functions of their cellular counterparts. Examples of these protective proteins include BHRF1 of...
