Here, we show that the African swine fever virus 5-HL gene is a highly conserved viral gene and contains all known protein domains associated with Bcl-2 activity, including those involved with dimerization, mediating cell death, and protein-binding functions, and that its protein product, p21, suppresses apoptotic cell death in the mammalian lymphoid cell line FL5.12. Thus, 5-HL is a true functional viral member of the Bcl-2 gene family.
在此,我们表明非洲猪瘟病毒5-HL基因是一个高度保守的病毒基因,包含所有已知的与Bcl-2活性相关的蛋白质结构域,包括那些参与二聚化、介导细胞死亡和蛋白质结合功能的结构域,并且其蛋白质产物p21可抑制哺乳动物淋巴样细胞系FL5.12中的凋亡性细胞死亡。因此,5-HL是Bcl-2基因家族真正具有功能的病毒成员。
