Epstein-Barr virus BNRF1 destabilizes SMC5/6 cohesin complexes to evade its restriction of replication compartments
1 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) persistently infects people worldwide. Delivery of ∼170-kb EBV genomes to nuclei and use of nuclear membrane-less replication compartments (RCs) for their lytic cycle amplification necessitate evasion of intrinsic antiviral responses. Proteomics analysis indicates that, upon B cell infection or lytic reactivation, EBV depletes the cohesin SMC5/6, which has major roles in chromosome...
