Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Lytic Gene ORF57 Is Essential for Infectious Virion Production
12 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
The ORF57 gene of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) encodes a nuclear protein expressed during the lytic phase of KSHV replication. An ORF57 homolog is present in all known human herpesviruses and many animal herpesviruses. Many of these proteins have been demonstrated to have essential transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulatory functions. ORF57 enhances expression of reporter genes...
