Human Cytomegalovirus Major Immediate Early 1 Protein Targets Host Chromosomes by Docking to the Acidic Pocket on the Nucleosome Surface
14 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
The 72-kDa immediate early 1 (IE1) protein encoded by human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) is a nuclearly localized promiscuous regulator of viral and cellular transcription. IE1 has long been known to associate with host mitotic chromatin, yet the mechanisms underlying this interaction have not been specified. In this study, we identify the cellular chromosome receptor for IE1. We demonstrate that the viral protein...
