Essential role for either TRS1 or IRS1 in human cytomegalovirus replication.

Abstract excerpt

Viral infections often produce double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which in turn triggers potent antiviral responses, including the global repression of protein synthesis mediated by protein kinase R (PKR) and 2'-5' oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS). As a consequence, many viruses have evolved genes, such as those encoding dsRNA-binding proteins, which counteract these pathways. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) encodes two...
