Zika virus infection drives epigenetic modulation of immunity by the histone acetyltransferase CBP of Aedes aegypti
27 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic mechanisms are responsible for a wide range of biological phenomena in insects, controlling embryonic development, growth, aging and nutrition. Despite this, the role of epigenetics in shaping insect-pathogen interactions has received little attention. Gene expression in eukaryotes is regulated by histone acetylation/deacetylation, an epigenetic process mediated by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and...
