Epigenetic Regulation of Varicella-Zoster Virus Open Reading Frames 62 and 63 in Latently Infected Human Trigeminal Ganglia
26 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
Open reading frames (ORFs) 21, 29, 62, 63, and 66 of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) are transcribed during latency in human ganglia. ORF 63 is the most frequently expressed gene, and ORF 62 encodes a transcriptional activator. The mechanisms regulating the expression of these genes are not well understood, although analyses of other alphaherpesviruses indicate a role for chromatin in virus gene regulation during...
