The Leader Protein of Theiler's Virus Prevents the Activation of PKR

Abstract excerpt

The leader (L) protein encoded by cardioviruses is a very short multifunctional protein that contributes to evasion of the host innate immune response. This protein notably prevents the formation of stress granules in infected cells. Using Theiler's virus as a model, we show that L proteins can act at two levels in the stress response pathway leading to stress granule formation, the most striking one being the...
