Abstract
Members of the UL24 herpesvirus gene family are determinants of pathogenesis. The gene is widely conserved across the Orthoherpesviridae family, also commonly referred to as Herpesviridae. In this review, the impact of UL24 homologs on pathogenesis as studied with different model systems is presented, as well as mechanistic aspects related to the different roles of UL24 proteins in virus-host cell interactions. The targeting of UL24 for the development of therapeutic applications is also discussed.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 1955, Virology is a broad and inclusive journal that welcomes submissions on all aspects of virology including plant, animal, microbial and human viruses. The journal publishes basic research as well as pre-clinical and clinical studies of vaccines, anti-viral drugs and their development, anti-viral therapies, and computational studies of virus infections. Any submission that is of broad interest to the community of virologists/vaccinologists and reporting scientifically accurate and valuable research will be considered for publication, including negative findings and multidisciplinary work.Virology is open to reviews, research manuscripts, short communication, registered reports as well as follow-up manuscripts.
