Varicella zoster virus encodes a viral decoy RHIM to inhibit cell death

2020-03-12

Abstract excerpt

Herpesviruses are known to encode a number of inhibitors of host cell death, including Rip Homotypic Interaction Motif (RHIM)-containing proteins. Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a member of the alphaherpesvirus subfamily and is responsible for causing chickenpox and shingles. We have identified a novel viral RHIM in the VZV capsid triplex protein open reading frame (ORF) 20 that acts as a host cell death inhibito...
