Analysis of Viral cis Elements Conferring Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Episome Partitioning and Maintenance
12 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
Maintenance of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) episomes in latently infected cells is dependent on the latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA). LANA binds to the viral terminal repeats (TR), leading to recruitment of cellular origin recognition complex proteins. Additionally, LANA tethers episomes to chromosomes via interactions with histones H2A and H2B (A. J. Barbera et al., Science...
