Human Cytomegalovirus UL69 Protein Induces Cells To Accumulate in G 1 Phase of the Cell Cycle
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
Earlier studies have revealed that human cytomegalovirus rapidly inhibits the growth of fibroblasts, blocking cell cycle progression at multiple points, including the G1-to-S-phase transition. The present study demonstrates that the UL69 protein, a virus-encoded constituent of the virion, is able to arrest cell cycle progression when introduced into uninfected cells. Expression of the UL69 protein causes U2 OS...
