An immune-suppressing protein in human endogenous retroviruses

2022-11-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Retroviruses are important contributors to disease and evolution in vertebrates. Sometimes, retrovirus DNA is heritably inserted in a vertebrate genome: an endogenous retrovirus (ERV). Vertebrate genomes have many such virus-derived fragments, usually with mutations disabling their original functions. Some primate ERVs appear to encode an overlooked protein. This protein is homologous to protein...
