Suppression of Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Infection and Replication by 5′-AMP-Activated Protein Kinase
5 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The host intracellular antiviral restriction factors inhibit viral infection and replication. The 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a cellular energy sensor regulating metabolic homeostasis. Activated AMPK inhibits the replication of numerous RNA viruses but enhances the entry of vaccinia virus. However, the role of AMPK in herpesvirus infection is unclear. In this study, we showed that the...
