The Viral Bcl-2 Homologs of Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus and Rhesus Rhadinovirus Share an Essential Role for Viral Replication

5 Jan 2017

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT KS-Bcl-2 is a Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV)-encoded viral Bcl-2 (vBcl-2) homolog which has apoptosis- and autophagy-inhibiting activity when expressed in transfected cells. However, little is known about its function during viral infection. As KS-Bcl-2 is expressed during the lytic replication cycle, we used constitutively lytic and inducibly lytic KSHV mutants to investigate the role of...
