Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated Herpesvirus K8 Exon 3 Contains Three 5′-Splice Sites and Harbors a K8.1 Transcription Start Site
1 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) K8 and K8.1 open reading frames are juxtaposed and span from nucleotide (nt) 74850 to 76695 of the virus genome. A K8 pre-mRNA overlaps the entire K8.1 coding region, and alternative splicing of KSHV K8 and K8.1 pre-mRNAs each produces three isoforms (alpha, beta, and gamma) of the mRNAs. We have mapped the 5' end of the K8.1 RNA in butyrate-induced KSHV-positive...
