The gene that encodes the herpes simplex virus type 1 latency-associated transcript influences the accumulation of transcripts (Bcl-x(L) and Bcl-x(S)) that encode apoptotic regulatory proteins.


ABSTRACT: The herpes simplex virus type 1 latency-associated transcript (LAT) inhibits apoptosis. We demonstrate here that LAT influences the accumulation of the Bcl-x(L) transcript versus the Bcl-x(S) transcript in Neuro-2A cells. Bcl-x(L) encodes an antiapoptotic protein, whereas Bcl-x(S) encodes a proapoptotic protein. Promoting the accumulation of Bcl-x(L) in neurons may inhibit apoptosis, thus enhancing the latency-reactivation cycle.
