The Oncogenic MicroRNA OncomiR-21 Overexpressed during Marek's Disease Lymphomagenesis Is Transactivated by the Viral Oncoprotein Meq
11 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Gallid herpesvirus 2 (GaHV-2) is an oncogenic herpesvirus that causes T lymphoma in chicken. GaHV-2 encodes a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) protein of the AP-1 family, Meq. Upon formation of homo- or heterodimers with c-Jun, Meq may modulate the expression of viral and cellular genes involved in lymphomagenesis. GaHV-2 also encodes viral microRNAs (miRNAs) involved in latency and apoptosis escape. However, little...
