Furthermore, small DNA viruses with known oncogenic activity, such as the human papillomavirus (HPV), adenoviruses and polyomaviruses, take control of the cell cycle by usurping specific cellular Ub ligase complexes to target crucial cell cycle regulators such as p53 and the protein of the retinoblastoma (pRB) for degradation [58] . In addition to this important function, which is likely required for proper trafficking and maturation of the viral envelope glycoproteins, Vpu has been more recently characterized for yet another crucial role, connected with the ability of the virus to evade a specific IFN-1 induced antiviral factor: the B cell stromal factor 2 (BST-2) or tetherin. ./cache/cord-286219-qcx5ehnh.txt ./txt/cord-286219-qcx5ehnh.txt
