Temporal phase-resolved transcriptomics reveals host determinants of Mareks disease virus reactivation in transformed chicken T cells

Haji Akbar, Yung-Tien Tien, Kathrine Van Etten, Keith William Jarosinski

The paper uses transcriptomics to compare host responses in two chicken cell lines during MDV reactivation, finding divergent early gene induction but convergent late-stage viral transcription.

Conserved herpesvirus protein kinase (CHPK)-mediated phosphorylation of viral proteins associated with nucleocytoplasmic trafficking during natural infection

Haji Akbar, Nagendraprabhu Ponnuraj, Bushra Fazal Minhas…·Keith William Jarosinski

This study identifies CHPK-mediated phosphorylation of viral proteins as critical for herpesvirus replication and transmission, revealing its role in regulating nucleocytoplasmic trafficking through post-translational modifications.
