Epstein-Barr Virus Induced Cytidine Metabolism Roles in Transformed B-Cell Growth and Survival
ABSTRACT Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with 200,000 cancers annually, including B-cell lymphomas in immunosuppressed hosts. Hypomorphic mutations of the de novo pyrimidine synthesis pathway enzyme cytidine 5′ triphosphate synthase 1 (CTPS1) suppress cell-mediated immunity, resulting in fulm...
