Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus (Human Herpesvirus 8) Contains Two Functional Lytic Origins of DNA Replication
28 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
We used a transient-transfection replication assay to identify two functional copies of the human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) lytic origin of DNA replication (oriLyt). BCLB-1 cells were transfected with HHV8 subgenomic fragments containing the putative lytic origin along with a plasmid expressing viral transactivator open reading frame (ORF) 50. The HHV8 left-end oriLyt (oriLyt-L) lies between ORFs K4.2 and K5 and is...
