These results clearly demonstrate that KSHV specifically redistributes the molecular chaperones, Hsc70 and iHsp70, from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, in contrast to Grp78, which coincides with the initial formation of KSHV RTCs. Treatment with the small molecule inhibitor VER-155008 abrogated viral protein synthesis at non-cytotoxic concentrations Members of the HSP70 chaperone family possess an N-terminal nucleotide binding domain with ATPase activity which is essential for their function. Therefore to ascertain whether Hsp70 isoforms could stabilise the essential KSHV lytic proteins RTA and ORF57, TREx BCBL1-RTA cells were reactivated for 24 h to allow sufficient viral protein expression followed by addition of DMSO control or VER-155008 in conjunction with cycloheximide (CHX) at 50 μg/ml to block de novo protein synthesis. ./cache/cord-001859-d62iuk72.txt ./txt/cord-001859-d62iuk72.txt
