Preventing translational inhibition from ribosomal protein insufficiency by a herpes simplex virus–encoded ribosome-associated protein

Abstract excerpt

In addition to being required for protein synthesis, ribosomes and ribosomal proteins (RPs) also regulate messenger RNA translation in uninfected and virus-infected cells. By individually depleting 85 RPs using RNA interference, we found that overall protein synthesis in uninfected primary fibroblasts was more sensitive to RP depletion than those infected with herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1). Although...
