Sp140L functions as a herpesvirus restriction factor suppressing viral transcription and activating interferon-stimulated genes
17 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
Herpesviruses, including Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) - a human oncogenic virus and essential trigger of multiple sclerosis - must bypass host DNA-sensing mechanisms to establish lifelong, latent infection. Therefore, herpesviruses encode viral proteins to disrupt key host factors involved in DNA sensing and viral restriction. The first viral latency protein expressed, EBNA-LP, is essential for transformation of...
