Flock House Virus Induces Apoptosis by Depletion of <i>Drosophila</i> Inhibitor-of-Apoptosis Protein DIAP1
8 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanisms by which RNA viruses induce apoptosis and apoptosis-associated pathology are not fully understood. Here we show that flock house virus (FHV), one of the simplest RNA viruses (family, Nodaviridae), induces robust apoptosis of permissive Drosophila Line-1 (DL-1) cells. To define the pathway by which FHV triggers apoptosis in this model invertebrate system, we investigated the potential role...
