Activation of the NF-κB Pathway in Human Cytomegalovirus-Infected Cells Is Necessary for Efficient Transactivation of the Major Immediate-Early Promoter
12 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
We previously demonstrated that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection induced the activation of the cellular transcription factor NF-kappaB. Here, we investigate the mechanism for the HCMV-induced NF-kappaB activation and the role that the induced NF-kappaB plays in transactivation of the major immediate-early promoter (MIEP) and production of immediate-early (IE) proteins. Using a dominant-negative inhibitor of...
