White Spot Syndrome Virus Establishes a Novel IE1/JNK/c-Jun Positive Feedback Loop to Drive Replication
29 Nov 2019
Abstract excerpt
Viruses need to hijack and manipulate host proteins to guarantee their replication. Herein, we uncovered that the DNA virus white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) established a novel positive feedback loop by hijacking the host JNK pathway via its immediate-early 1 (IE1) protein to drive replication. Specifically, the WSSV IE1 bound to host JNK, and enhanced JNK autoactivation by autophosphorylation, and in turn,...
