Ets-1-dependent Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptors Is Activated by Latency-associated Nuclear Antigen of Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated Herpesvirus through Interaction with Daxx

Abstract excerpt

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors are highly expressed in Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) lesion and play a key role in angiogenesis. Latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA) of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV/HHV8) has multiple functions related to viral latency and KSHV-induced oncogenesis. In this report, we have identified Daxx as a LANA-binding protein by co-immunoprecipitation...
