Human Herpesvirus 7 Open Reading Frames U12 and U51 Encode Functional β-Chemokine Receptors
12 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7), which belongs to the betaherpesvirus subfamily and infects mainly CD4+ T cells in vitro, infects children during infancy. HHV-7 contains two genes, U12 and U51, that encode putative homologs of cellular G-protein-coupled receptors. To analyze the biological function of the U12 and U51 genes, we cloned these genes and expressed the proteins in cells. U12 and U51 encoded functional...
