Abstract excerpt
The Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated Herpesvirus (KSHV)-encoded G-protein coupled receptor (vGPCR) is an oncoprotein that is implicated in KSHV-associated malignancies. We previously revealed vGPCR incorporates sulfate groups within its extracellular N-terminal tyrosine residues (Y26 and Y28) and that this tyrosine sulfation is crucial for its tumorigenicity in nude mice. hGRO-α binds vGPCR in a...
