Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a human herpesvirus capable of establishing a latent state in B lymphocytes. EBV's BZLF1 gene product plays a central role in regulating the switch from latency to productive infection. Here, we identify a sequence element, 5'-CAGGTA-3', called ZV, located at nucleotides -17 to -12 relative to the transcription initiation site of the BZLF1 promoter. ZV sequence-specifically binds a...
