Open Reading Frame 50 Protein of Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Directly Activates the Viral PAN and K12 Genes by Binding to Related Response Elements
1 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
Open reading frame (ORF) 50 protein is capable of activating the entire lytic cycle of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), but its mechanism of action is not well characterized. Here we demonstrate that ORF 50 protein activates two KSHV lytic cycle genes, PAN (polyadenylated nuclear RNA) and K12, by binding to closely related response elements located approximately 60 to 100 nucleotides (nt) upstream...
