Enterovirus 71 3C Promotes Apoptosis through Cleavage of PinX1, a Telomere Binding Protein
10 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is an emerging pathogen causing hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) and fatal neurological diseases in infants and young children due to their underdeveloped immunocompetence. EV71 infection can induce cellular apoptosis through a variety of pathways, which promotes EV71 release. The viral protease 3C plays an important role in EV71-induced apoptosis. However, the molecular mechanism...
