| Abstract | Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection modulates the host cell cycle to create an environment that is optimal for viral gene expression, DNA replication, and production of infectious virus. The virus mostly infects quiescent cells and thus must push the cell into G1 phase of the cell cycle to co-opt the cellular mechanisms that could be used for DNA synthesis. However, at the same time, cellular functions must be subverted such that synthesis of viral DNA is favored over that of the host. The molecular mechanisms by which this is accomplished include altered RNA transcription, changes in the levels and activity of cyclin-dependent kinases, and other proteins involved in cell cycle control, posttranslational modifications of proteins, modulation of protein stability through targeted effects on the ubiquitin–proteasome degradation pathway, and movement of proteins to different cellular locations. When the cell is in the optimal G0/G1 phase, multiple signaling pathways are altered to allow rapid induction of viral gene expression once negative factors have been eliminated. For the most part, the cell cycle will stop prior to initiation of host cell DNA synthesis (S phase), although many cell cycle proteins characteristic of the S/G2/M phase accumulate. The environment of a cell progressing through the cell cycle and dividing is not favorable for viral replication, and HCMV has evolved ways to sense whether cells are in S/G2 phase, and if so, to prevent initiation of viral gene expression until the cells cycle back to G1. A major target of HCMV is the anaphase-promoting complex E3 ubiquitin ligase, which is responsible for the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of cyclins A and B and other cell cycle proteins at specific phases in the cell cycle. This review will discuss the effects of HCMV infection on cell cycle regulatory pathways, with the focus on selected viral proteins that are responsible for these effects. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
