Non-canonical microRNAs are a recently-discovered subset of microRNAs. They structurally
and functionally resemble canonical miRNAs, but were found to follow distinct maturation …

Gammaherpesviruses are members of an emerging subfamily among the Herpesviridae.
Two genera are discriminated:(i) lymphocryptovirus, including its type species Epstein-Barr …

A conserved herpesviral kinase, designated ORF36 in murine γ-herpesvirus 68 (MHV-68),
plays multiple vital roles in the viral life cycle. Here, we show by screening mutant viruses …

The vast majority of cyanophages isolated to date are cyanomyoviruses, a group related to
bacteriophage T4. Comparative genome analysis of five cyanomyoviruses, including a …

Background Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a human pathogenic alphaherpesvirus harboring
a relatively large DNA molecule. The VZV transcriptome has already been analyzed by …

Lytic infection with the two human gammaherpesviruses, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated
herpesvirus (KSHV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), leads to significant depletion of the …

ABSTRACT Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68 [also referred to as γHV68]) is
phylogenetically related to Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV [also referred to …

ABSTRACT Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68 [also known asγ HV-68]) is
distinguished by its ability to replicate to high titers in cultured cells, making it an excellent …

Alpha/beta interferon (IFN-α/β) protects the host from virus infection by inhibition of lytic virus
replication in infected cells and modulation of the antiviral cell-mediated immune response …

ER-associated degradation (ERAD) is a protein clearance mechanism by which misfolded,
misassembled, or metabolically regulated proteins are specifically dislocated from the ER …
