Keyword Inhibition of host RNA polymerase II by virus

UniProtKB (18,288) rdf/xml obo
DefinitionViral protein involved in the disruption of the host RNA polymerase II. Many viruses induce alterations in the cellular gene expression. Among these, shutoff of host transcription by targeting RNA polymerase II is commonly used. Indeed, many viruses are able to modify RNAP II CTD including Herpes virus, HIV, Epstein-Barr virus or Bunyamwera virus.
