Two novel human cytomegalovirus NK cell evasion functions target MICA for lysosomal degradation. by Ceri A Fielding, Rebecca Aicheler, Richard J Stanton, Eddie C Y Wang, Song Han, Sepehr Seirafian, James Davies, Brian P McSharry, Michael P Weekes, P Robin Antrobus, Virginie Prod'homme, Fabien P Blanchet, Daniel Sugrue, Simone Cuff, Dawn Roberts, Andrew J Davison, Paul J Lehner, Gavin W G Wilkinson, Peter Tomasec

“…While infection with a UL16 deletion mutant caused the expected increase in MICB and ULBP2 cell surface expression, deletion of UL142 did not have a similar impact on its target, MICA. We therefore performed a systematic screen of the viral genome to search of addition functions that targeted MICA. …”
