The Epstein Barr virus infection pathway shared 10 genes (Psmc4, Psmd11, Psmd13, Psmd3, Psmd6, Psmd4, Psmd12, Psmc1, Psmd1, and Psmd7) with the proteasome pathway and 1 gene (RGD1561926) with the spliceosome pathway, suggesting that this pathway was significant because of the presence of protein degradation genes. The gene discussed is PSMD13; the disease is Epstein-Barr virus infection.
