Functional Reorganization of Promyelocytic Leukemia Nuclear Bodies during BK Virus Infection

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT BK virus (BKV) is the causative agent for polyomavirus-associated nephropathy, a severe disease found in renal transplant patients due to reactivation of a persistent BKV infection. BKV replication relies on the interactions of BKV with many nuclear components, and subnuclear structures such as promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML-NBs) are known to play regulatory roles during a number of DNA virus...
