ATRX restricts Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) viral DNA replication through heterochromatinization and minimizes unpackaged viral genomes
5 Sept 2024
Abstract excerpt
ATRX limits the accumulation of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) Immediate Early (IE) proteins at the start of productive, lytic infections, and thus is a part of the cell-intrinsic defenses against infecting viruses. ATRX is a chromatin remodeler and a component of a histone chaperone complex. Therefore, we hypothesized ATRX would inhibit the transcription of HCMV IE genes by increasing viral genome...
