Epstein-Barr virus protein BKRF4 restricts nucleosome assembly to suppress host antiviral responses
6 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
Inhibition of host DNA damage response (DDR) is a common mechanism used by viruses to manipulate host cellular machinery and orchestrate viral life cycles. Epstein-Barr virus tegument protein BKRF4 associates with cellular chromatin to suppress host DDR signaling, but the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we identify a BKRF4 histone binding domain (residues 15-102, termed BKRF4-HBD) that can accumulate...
