Some viruses are known to be associated with the onset of specific cancers. These
microorganisms, oncogenic viruses or oncoviruses, can convert normal cells into cancer …

Herpesviruses are ancient large DNA viruses that have exploited gene capture as part of
their strategy to escape immune surveillance, promote virus spreading, or reprogram host …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) encodes G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) US28 and
US27, which facilitate viral pathogenesis through engagement of host G proteins. Here we …

Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating disease
characterized by severe and persistent fatigue. Along with clinical studies showing …

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) encodes a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) termed BILF1 that is
essential for EBV-mediated immunosuppression and oncogenesis. BILF1 couples with …

Pathogens exploit multiple cellular and molecular pathways in the host organisms for their
entry, survival and dissemination. The cell surface receptors such as G protein-coupled …

The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) US12 gene family contributes to virus-host interactions
by regulating the virus' cell tropism and its evasion of host innate immune responses. US21 …

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a member of the β-herpesviruses and is ubiquitous, infecting 50%–
99% of the human population depending on ethnic and socioeconomic conditions. CMV …

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) encodes a viral G protein-coupled
receptor, KSHV-GPCR, that contributes to KSHV immune evasion and pathogenesis of …

G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are pivotal in cellular signalling and drug targeting.
Herpesviruses encode GPCRs (vGPCRs) to manipulate cellular signalling, thereby …
