متن کاملThe role of GASP in the post-endocytic sorting and signaling of virally encoded chemokine receptor US28
Human cytomegalovirus, which infects up to 80% of the general population, causes severe complications in immunocompromised patients and is thought to be linked to vascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and restenosis. This β-herpesvirus encodes a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), namely US28, which does not only show homology to endogenous chemokine receptors but also binds endogenous CC c...
متن کاملConstitutive signaling of the human cytomegalovirus-encoded chemokine receptor US28.
Previously it was shown that the HHV-8-encoded chemokine receptor ORF74 shows considerable agonist-independent, constitutive activity giving rise to oncogenic transformation (Arvanitakis, L., Geras-Raaka, E., Varma, A., Gershengorn, M. C., and Cesarman, E. (1997) Nature 385, 347-350). In this study we report that a second viral-encoded chemokine receptor, the human cytomegalovirus-encoded US28,...
متن کاملThe far carboxy-terminus of the viral encoded chemokine receptor US28 binds to the sorting protein GASP-1 in vitro
US28 is a chemokine receptor encoded by the human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) and seems to be crucial for viral propagation. It is a constitutively active receptor. For instance it was shown that US28 signals via Gq/PLC and activates the transcription factors nuclear factor κB (NFκB), cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB) and nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT). Hence, the recept...
متن کاملConstitutive ß-Catenin Signaling by the Viral Chemokine Receptor US28
Chronic activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling is found in a variety of human malignancies including melanoma, colorectal and hepatocellular carcinomas. Interestingly, expression of the HCMV-encoded chemokine receptor US28 in intestinal epithelial cells promotes intestinal neoplasia in transgenic mice, which is associated with increased nuclear accumulation of β-catenin. In this study we show th...
