An RNA Element in Human Interleukin 6 Confers Escape from Degradation by the Gammaherpesvirus SOX Protein
14 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
Several viruses express factors to silence host gene expression via widespread mRNA degradation. This phenotype is the result of the coordinated activity of the viral endonuclease SOX and the cellular RNA degradation enzyme Xrn1 during lytic Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infection. While most cellular transcripts are highly downregulated, a subset of host mRNA escapes turnover via unknown...
