Host gene expression shutoff by virus
| Definition | Viral protein which prevents host gene expression by blocking host transcription, mRNA export or translation. This gives virus transcripts a competitive edge to use the hijacked translation machinery. Preventing the expression of host proteins is also a strategy to counteract the antiviral response. |
