Inhibition of TANK Binding Kinase 1 by Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Facilitates Productive Infection
15 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
The γ(1)34.5 protein of herpes simplex viruses (HSV) is essential for viral pathogenesis, where it precludes translational arrest mediated by double-stranded-RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR). Paradoxically, inhibition of PKR alone is not sufficient for HSV to exhibit viral virulence. Here we report that γ(1)34.5 inhibits TANK binding kinase 1 (TBK1) through its amino-terminal sequences, which facilitates viral...
