Direct Recognition of Cytomegalovirus by Activating and Inhibitory NK Cell Receptors
Natural killer (NK) cells express inhibitory receptors for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigens, preventing attack against healthy cells. Mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) encodes an… Expand

Human cytomegalovirus clinical isolates carry at least 19 genes not found in laboratory strains.
Nucleotide sequence comparisons were performed on a highly heterogeneous region of three human cytomegalovirus strains, Toledo, Towne, and AD169. The low-passage, virulent Toledo genome contained a… Expand

A cytomegalovirus-encoded mitochondria-localized inhibitor of apoptosis structurally unrelated to Bcl-2.
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV), a herpesvirus that causes congenital disease and opportunistic infections in immunocompromised individuals, encodes functions that facilitate efficient viral propagation… Expand

RIP3 mediates the embryonic lethality of caspase-8-deficient mice
Apoptosis and necroptosis are complementary pathways controlled by common signalling adaptors, kinases and proteases; among these, caspase-8 (Casp8) is critical for death receptor-induced apoptosis.… Expand

Toll-like Receptor 3-mediated Necrosis via TRIF, RIP3, and MLKL*
Background: RIP3-dependent programmed necrosis is an alternative to apoptosis. Results: When caspase-8 is compromised, TRIF-dependent TLRs directly activate RIP3 kinase through RHIM-dependent… Expand

Virus inhibition of RIP3-dependent necrosis.
Viral infection activates cytokine expression and triggers cell death, the modulation of which is important for successful pathogenesis. Necroptosis is a form of programmed necrosis dependent on two… Expand

A cytomegalovirus-encoded inhibitor of apoptosis that suppresses caspase-8 activation
We have identified a human cytomegalovirus cell-death suppressor, denoted vICA, encoded by the viral UL36 gene. vICA inhibits Fas-mediated apoptosis by binding to the pro-domain of caspase-8 and… Expand

Defective Growth Correlates with Reduced Accumulation of a Viral DNA Replication Protein after Low-Multiplicity Infection by a Human Cytomegalovirus ie1 Mutant
ABSTRACT To investigate the importance of the IE1 p72 regulatory protein during human cytomegalovirus replication, a recombinant virus unable to synthesize IE1 p72 was constructed. The Towne strain… Expand

DAI/ZBP1/DLM-1 complexes with RIP3 to mediate virus-induced programmed necrosis that is targeted by murine cytomegalovirus vIRA.
Programmed necrosis, like apoptosis, eliminates pathogen-infected cells as a component of host defense. Receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIP) 3 (also called RIPK3) mediates RIP homotypic… Expand
