Human Herpesvirus 8 LANA Interacts with Proteins of the mSin3 Corepressor Complex and Negatively Regulates Epstein-Barr Virus Gene Expression in Dually Infected PEL Cells

Abstract excerpt

The human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA) is expressed in all latently HHV-8 infected cells and in HHV-8-associated tumors, including primary effusion lymphoma (PEL). To better understand the contribution of LANA to tumorigenesis and to the PEL phenotype, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screen which identified the corepressor protein SAP30 as a LANA binding protein. SAP30 is a...
