The Oncogenic Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Encodes a Mimic of the Tumor-Suppressive miR-15/16 miRNA Family
1 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
Many tumor viruses encode oncogenes of cellular origin. Here, we report an oncoviral mimic of a cellular tumor suppressor. The Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) microRNA (miRNA) miR-K6-5p shares sequence similarity to the tumor-suppressive cellular miR-15/16 miRNA family. We show that miR-K6-5p inhibits cell cycle progression, a hallmark function of miR-16. miR-K6-5p regulates conserved miR-15/16...
