IKK epsilon kinase is crucial for viral G protein-coupled receptor tumorigenesis
14 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are seven-transmembrane proteins that transmit diverse extracellular signals across a membrane. Herpesvirus genomes encode multiple GPCRs implicated in viral pathogenesis. Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus GPCR (kGPCR) activates proliferative pathways and, when expressed in endothelium in mice, sufficiently induces angiogenic tumor resembling human Kaposi's sarcoma. IKKε,...
