HCMV pUL135 Remodels the Actin Cytoskeleton to Impair Immune Recognition of Infected Cells
1 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
Immune evasion genes help human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) establish lifelong persistence. Without immune pressure, laboratory-adapted HCMV strains have undergone genetic alterations. Among these, the deletion of the UL/b' domain is associated with loss of virulence. In a screen of UL/b', we identified pUL135 as a protein responsible for the characteristic cytopathic effect of clinical HCMV strains that also...
