Human Cytomegalovirus Infection Leads to Accumulation of Geminin and Inhibition of the Licensing of Cellular DNA Replication
28 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that infection of G(0)-synchronized human fibroblasts by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) results in a block to cellular DNA synthesis. In this study, we have examined the effect of viral infection on the formation of the host cell DNA prereplication complex (pre-RC). We found that the Cdc6 protein level was significantly upregulated in the virus-infected cells and that there was a delay...
