Induction of the transcription factor Sp1 during human cytomegalovirus infection mediates upregulation of the p65 and p105/p50 NF-kappaB promoters
1 Jun 1997
Abstract excerpt
During human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection, the promoters for the classical NF-kappaB subunits (p65 and p105/p50) are transactivated. Previously, we demonstrated that the viral immediate-early (IE) proteins (IE1-72, IE2-55, and IE2-86) were involved in this upregulation. These viral factors alone, however, could not account for the entirety of the increased levels of transcription. Because one of the hallmarks...
