The Latency-Associated Nuclear Antigen of Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Permits Replication of Terminal Repeat-Containing Plasmids
28 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
The latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA) of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus can associate with mitotic chromosomes and promote latent episome maintenance and segregation. Here we report that LANA also mediates the replication of plasmid DNAs bearing viral terminal repeats. The predicted secondary structure of LANA's C terminus reveals striking similarity to the known structure of the DNA-binding...
