Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus K7 Modulates Rubicon-Mediated Inhibition of Autophagosome Maturation
12 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is an important innate safeguard mechanism for protecting an organism against invasion by pathogens. We have previously discovered that Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) evades this host defense through tight suppression of autophagy by targeting multiple steps of autophagy signal transduction. Here, we report that KSHV K7 protein interacts with Rubicon autophagy protein and inhibits the...
