In another study by Kusano and Ikeda, PLSCR1 was implicated in EBV infection, as it interacts with EBV protein BZLF1 and represses BZLF1-mediated lytic gene transcription in EBV-infected nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) (Kusano and Ikeda, 2019). The gene discussed is PLSCR1; the disease is Epstein-Barr virus infection.
