Western blot - Anti-KSHV ORF45 antibody [2D4A5] (AB36618)
Based on the analysis of the mRNA sequence, ORF45 is expected to encode a protein of 407 amino acids with a molecular mass of about 50 kDa. However, ORF45 was displayed as a diffuse band at the position of 78 kDa on a Western blot after SDS-PAGE. This observation implied that ORF45 might be highly post-translationally modified, resulting in its reduced mobility in denaturing SDS-PAGE. A survey of the primary amino acid sequence of ORF45 revealed multiple potential sites of phosphorylation, including a serine-rich region and other consensus sites for phosphorylation by the serine/threonine kinase, casein kinase II, and protein kinase C (Zhu & Yuan, 2003).

Biological function summary
The function of KSHV ORF45 impacts cellular processes that are essential for viral replication and immune evasion. This protein interacts with several signaling molecules such as RSK and ERK which are part of the host cell's defense mechanisms. It prevents cellular apoptosis and supports viral gene expression by inhibiting the host's innate immune response. KSHV ORF45 does not exist as part of a larger protein complex but operates through direct protein-protein interactions.
Pathways
Research shows that KSHV ORF45 modifies the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. This pathway is critical for cell proliferation and survival aiding the virus in evading host immunity and establishing infection. The protein closely links with RSK1/2 important in transducing ERK signals. This modification affects the host cell's ability to mount an effective antiviral response supporting viral pathogenesis.
