Structural Conservation and Functional Diversity of the Poxvirus Immune Evasion (PIE) Domain Superfamily
Poxviruses encode a broad array of proteins that serve to undermine host immune defenses. Structural analysis of four of these seemingly unrelated proteins revealed the recurrent use of a conserved beta-sandwich fold that has not been observed in any eukaryotic or prokaryotic protein. Herein we prop...
