Deskripsi

The herpesvirus protein ORF45 can bind the two host kinases ERK and RSK but how this affects cell signalling is unclear. Here, the authors show that ORF45 hijacks the ERK-RSK complex by binding to the two kinases with optimized linear motifs and interfering with the host kinase docking systems.
