ZIKV infection activates the IRE1-XBP1 and ATF6 pathways of unfolded protein response in neural cells
21 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Many viruses depend on the extensive membranous network of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for their translation, replication, and packaging. Certain membrane modifications of the ER can be a trigger for ER stress, as well as the accumulation of viral protein in the ER by viral infection. Then, unfolded protein response (UPR) is activated to alleviate the stress. Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne...
