Definition of sequence requirements for latency-associated nuclear antigen 1 binding to Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus DNA.

Abstract excerpt

In latent infection, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) latency-associated nuclear antigen 1 (LANA1)-specific binding to KSHV terminal repeat DNA mediates multicopy episome persistence. We now use electrophoretic mobility shift assays to investigate LANA1 binding to its 20-bp cognate sequence. Mutations at positions 6, 7, and 8 ((6)CCC(8)) severely reduced LANA1 binding, whereas mutations at other...
