symbiont-mediated suppression of host transcription

Term ID

GO:0039653

Synonyms

host transcription shut-off
host transcription shutoff by virus
suppression by virus of host DNA-dependent transcription
suppression by virus of host transcription

Definition

A process in which a symbiont inhibits or disrupts transcription of genes into mRNA in its host. For example, symbiont proteins can interfere with host RNA polymerase or with transcription factors. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction.
