CC and CX3C Chemokines Differentially Interact with the N Terminus of the Human Cytomegalovirus-encoded US28 Receptor
17 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the causative agent of life-threatening systemic diseases in immunocompromised patients as well as a risk factor for vascular pathologies, like atherosclerosis, in immunocompetent individuals. HCMV encodes a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), referred to as US28, that displays homology to the human chemokine receptor CCR1 and binds several chemokines of the CC family as well as the...
