Adenovirus E1B protein
Adenovirus E1B protein
The Adenovirus E1B protein (pronunciation: /ˈædɪnoʊˌvaɪrəs iː wʌn biː ˈproʊtiːn/) is a viral protein encoded by the E1B gene of the Adenovirus.
Etymology
The term "Adenovirus" is derived from the Greek words "adenos" meaning gland and "virus" meaning poison. The E1B protein is named for its location within the E1 region of the adenovirus genome.
Function
The E1B protein plays a crucial role in the life cycle of the adenovirus. It is involved in the regulation of viral and cellular gene expression, viral DNA replication, and the modification of cellular processes to support viral replication. The E1B protein also has a role in inhibiting apoptosis, or programmed cell death, to allow the virus to replicate.
