Novel Function of Avian p53 in Binding to ALV-J LTR Contributes to Its Antiviral Roles

Abstract excerpt

Rous sarcoma virus (RSV)/ALV was the first retrovirus to be discovered, which was really the first hint that cancer, or a tumor, could be transmitted by a virus. The specific mechanisms that regulate ALV replication during infection remain poorly understood. Here, we show that avian p53 and HDAC complex inhibit ALV promoter activity and replication, and p53 inhibits ALV replication through binding to the ALV...
