The Evolutionarily Conserved Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated Herpesvirus ORF57 Protein Interacts with REF Protein and Acts as an RNA Export Factor
1 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
ORF57 (MTA) one of the earliest Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) regulatory proteins to be expressed is essential for virus lytic replication. A counterpart is present in every herpesvirus sequenced, indicating the importance of this signature viral protein and those examined act post-transcriptionally, affecting RNA splicing and transport. In KSHV-infected cells, ORF57 protein was present in a...
