BAFfled by Poxviruses?

Research output: Contribution to journal › Short survey › peer-review

Abstract

Successful viruses engage in a dynamic interplay with their hosts, where both utilize diverse strategies to impose their supremacy. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Wiebe and Traktman describe a novel interaction between vaccinia virus and mammalian cells. A host protein called BAF can bind ectopic cytoplasmic DNA and block viral DNA replication, whereas vaccinia in turn counteracts this inhibition with a virus-encoded serine threonine kinase that inactivates BAF.
