Heteromerization of human cytomegalovirus encoded chemokine receptors

Abstract excerpt

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a widespread pathogen that infects up to 80% of the human population and causes severe complications in immunocompromised patients. HCMV expresses four seven transmembrane (7TM) spanning/G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) - US28, US27, UL33 and UL78 - that show close homology to human chemokine receptors. While US28 was shown to bind several chemokines and to constitutively...
