Functional interaction of the human cytomegalovirus IE2 protein with histone deacetylase 2 in infected human fibroblasts
17 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
In human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-infected cells, the 86 kDa immediate-early (IE) 2 protein plays a key role in transactivating downstream viral genes. Recently, IE2 has been shown to interact with histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) and HDAC3. HDAC1 recruited by IE2 was required for IE2-mediated autorepression of the major IE (MIE) promoter, whereas IE2-HDAC3 interaction was suggested to relieve the repressive effect of...
