Abstract

The tendency of herpesvirus proteins, such as HCMV-vMIA and KSHV vFLIP, to interact with PEX19 and further interplay with MAVS is crucial. Investigating other herpesviral proteins that tend to interact with PEX19, and MAVS could provide an idea of whether this is a pan-herpesviral strategy.
