Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) expresses several proteins that manipulate normal cellular functions, including cellular transcription, apoptosis, immune response, and cell cycle control. The IE2 gene, which is expressed from the HCMV major immediate-early (MIE) promoter, encodes the IE86 protein. IE86 is a multifunctional protein that is essential for viral replication. The functions of IE86 include transactivation...
