KLHL9 acts as a KSHV vBcl-2-interacting host factor that supports lytic replication
2026-08-13
Abstract excerpt
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV; human herpesvirus 8) is an oncogenic gammaherpesvirus that causes Kaposi's sarcoma and several lymphoproliferative disorders. The KSHV open reading frame (ORF) 16 encodes viral Bcl-2 (vBcl-2), which inhibits apoptosis and autophagy. vBcl-2 is required for efficient lytic replication and production of infectious progeny; however, this essential role is independent of i...
