Maribavir (MBV) inhibits Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) replication and the enzymatic activity of the viral protein kinase BGLF4. MBV also inhibits expression of multiple EBV transcripts during EBV lytic infection. Here we demonstrate, with the use of a BGLF4 knockout virus, that effects of MBV on transcription take place primarily through inhibition of BGLF4. MBV inhibits viral genome copy numbers and infectivity to levels similar to and exceeding levels produced by BGLF4 knockout virus.
马拉韦罗（MBV）可抑制 EBV 复制和病毒蛋白激酶 BGLF4 的酶活性。MBV 还可抑制 EBV 裂解感染过程中多种 EBV 转录本的表达。本文通过 BGLF4 缺失病毒证实，MBV 对转录的作用主要通过抑制 BGLF4 实现。MBV 可将病毒基因组拷贝数和感染性抑制至与 BGLF4 缺失病毒相当或更高的水平。
