Role of Interleukin-1 Family Members and Signaling Pathways in KSHV Pathogenesis.

abstract：:Over the last few decades, concepts of protein intrinsic disorder have been implicated in different biological processes. Recent studies have suggested that intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) provide structural plasticity and functional diversity to viral proteins that are involved in rapid replication and immun...
