Phosphorylation represents one the most abundant and important posttranslational modifications of proteins, including viral proteins. Virus-encoded serine/threonine protein kinases appear to be a feature that is unique to large DNA viruses. Although the importance of these kinases for virus replication in cell culture is variable, they invariably play important roles in virus virulence. The current review provides an overview of the different viral serine/threonine protein kinases of several large DNA viruses and discusses their function, importance, and potential as antiviral drug targets.
磷酸化是蛋白质最丰富和最重要的翻译后修饰之一,包括病毒蛋白。病毒编码的丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶似乎是大型 DNA 病毒所特有的特征。尽管这些激酶对细胞培养中病毒复制的重要性各不相同,但它们在病毒毒力中始终起着重要作用。本文综述了几种大型 DNA 病毒的不同病毒丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶,并讨论了它们的功能、重要性及其作为抗病毒药物靶点的潜力。
