Role for the Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase-Akt-TOR Pathway during Sindbis Virus Replication in Arthropods
19 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
The efficient transmission of alphaviruses requires the establishment of a persistent infection in the arthropod vector; however, the nature of the virus-arthropod host interaction is not well understood. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt-TOR pathway is a signaling pathway with which viruses interact to manipulate cellular functions. The viral activation of this pathway can enhance translation and...
