Transcriptional Regulation of the Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Viral Interferon Regulatory Factor Gene
15 Sept 2000
Abstract excerpt
The Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), or human herpesvirus 8, open reading frame (ORF) K9 encodes a viral interferon regulatory factor (vIRF) that functions as a repressor for interferon-mediated signal transduction. Consequently, this gene is thought to play an important role in the tumorigenicity of KSHV. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying vIRF expression, we studied the...
