Inhibition of S-Phase Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Activity Blocks Expression of Epstein-Barr Virus Immediate-Early and Early Genes, Preventing Viral Lytic Replication
11 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
The induction of lytic replication of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) completely arrests cell cycle progression, in spite of elevation of S-phase cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) activity, thereby causing accumulation of hyperphosphorylated forms of retinoblastoma (Rb) protein (A. Kudoh, M. Fujita, T. Kiyono, K. Kuzushima, Y. Sugaya, S. Izuta, Y. Nishiyama, and T. Tsurumi, J. Virol. 77:851-861, 2003). Thus, the EBV...
