The DNase of Gammaherpesviruses Impairs Recognition by Virus-Specific CD8+T Cells through an Additional Host Shutoff Function
20 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
The DNase/alkaline exonuclease (AE) genes are well conserved in all herpesvirus families, but recent studies have shown that the AE proteins of gammaherpesviruses such as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) exhibit an additional function which shuts down host protein synthesis. One correlate of this additional shutoff function is that levels of cell surface HLA molecules...
