BmJun promotes viral proliferation and suppresses BmNPV-induced apoptosis in association with transcriptional upregulation of p35.
Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is a major viral pathogen of silkworms, causing significant economic losses in the sericulture industry. BmNPV infection can induce host-cell apoptosis as an antiviral defense response, whereas the virus must suppress premature apoptosis to complete productive infection. However...
