Reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus lytic cycle by histone deacetylase inhibitors [PDF]
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is closely associated with certain lymphoid and epithelial malignancies such as Burkitt lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and gastric carcinoma (GC).

Upper Airway Obstruction due to Kaposi Sarcoma—Presenting Sign of HIV: Case Report and Review
This study presents a case of undiagnosed HIV presenting with Kaposi sarcoma (KS) of the head and neck with acute upper airway obstruction (UAO) and provides an updated scoping literature review to examine the patient characteristics, lesion characteristics, interventions, and outcomes of KS cases with UAO from the pharynx, larynx, and/or trachea.

KSHV Induction of Angiogenic and Lymphangiogenic Phenotypes
Kaposi’s Sarcoma is a highly vascularized tumor supporting large amounts of neo-angiogenesis. The major cell type in KS tumors is the spindle cell, a cell that expresses markers of lymphatic endothelium. KSHV, the etiologic agent of KS, is found in the

KSHV gB associated RGD interactions promote attachment of cells by inhibiting the potential migratory signals induced by the disintegrin-like domain [PDF]
Background: Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) glycoprotein B (gB) is not only expressed on the envelope of mature virions but also on the surfaces of cells undergoing lytic replication.

Differential regulation of translational stress responses by herpesvirus ubiquitin deconjugases
Translating viral mRNAs is challenging due to structural features that may slow translation or induce ribosome stalling. The viral ubiquitin deconjugases encoded by human pathogenic herpesviruses regulate the cellular response to ribosomal stress by inhibiting various branches of the Ribosomal Quality Control (RQC) and activating Ribosomal Stress ...

Identification of bZIP interaction partners of viral proteins HBZ, MEQ, BZLF1, and K-bZIP using coiled-coil arrays [PDF]
Basic-region leucine-zipper transcription factors (bZIPs) contain a segment rich in basic amino acids that can bind DNA, followed by a leucine zipper that can interact with other leucine zippers to form coiled-coil homo- or heterodimers.

Abstract Introduction A proportion of people living with HIV (PLWH) fail to restore their CD4 count or their CD4/CD8 ratio despite effective antiretroviral therapy (ART). PLWH with immune non‐response (INR) are at a higher risk of both AIDS and non‐AIDS events. The underlying mechanisms of INR remain unclear.

The status of CMV as a human pathogen. [PDF]
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common infectious agent which is well adapted to its host. Following primary infection, which is almost always asymptomatic in people with normal immunity, the virus establishes latency at sites which are unknown.
