RNA Editing of the Human Herpesvirus 8 Kaposin Transcript Eliminates Its Transforming Activity and Is Induced during Lytic Replication
4 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
Human herpesvirus 8 is the etiologic agent associated with Kaposi's sarcoma and primary effusion lymphoma (PEL). The K12 RNA, which produces as many as three variants of the kaposin protein, as well as a microRNA, is the most abundant transcript expressed in latent Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus infection, and yet it is also induced during lytic replication. The portion of the transcript that includes...
