Inhibition of Cellular 2′-5′ Oligoadenylate Synthetase by the Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Us11 Protein
18 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Among the many host genes induced by virus infection and interferon, the eIF2alpha protein kinase PKR and the 2'-5' oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS) are both activated by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) produced in virus-infected cells. Furthermore, each is a critical component that independently acts to inhibit virus replication and thereby contributes to the establishment of an antiviral state. As part of their...
