The Human Cytomegalovirus Endoplasmic Reticulum-Resident Glycoprotein UL148 Activates the Unfolded Protein Response
26 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is an ancient cellular response to ER stress that is of broad importance to viruses. Certain consequences of the UPR, including mRNA degradation and translational shutoff, would presumably be disadvantageous to viruses, while other attributes of the UPR, such as ER expansion and upregulation of protein folding chaperones, might enhance viral replication. Although HCMV is...
