Human cytomegalovirus evades ZAP detection by suppressing CpG dinucleotides in the major immediate early genes

2020-01-08

Abstract excerpt

The genomes of RNA and small DNA viruses of vertebrates display significant suppression of CpG dinucleotide frequencies. Artificially increasing dinucleotide frequencies results in substantial attenuation of virus replication, suggesting that these compositional changes may facilitate recognition of non-self RNA sequences. Recently, the interferon inducible protein ZAP, was identified as the host factor responsibl...
