Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Viral Interferon Regulatory Factor 4 Targets MDM2 To Deregulate the p53 Tumor Suppressor Pathway
15 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Cells infected by viruses utilize interferon (IFN)-mediated and p53-mediated irreversible cell cycle arrest and apoptosis as part of the overall host surveillance mechanism to ultimately block viral replication and dissemination. Viruses, in turn, have evolved elaborate mechanisms to subvert IFN- and p53-mediated host innate immune responses. Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) encodes several viral...
