Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Transactivator RTA Promotes Degradation of the Repressors To Regulate Viral Lytic Replication
24 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus/human herpesvirus 8 (KSHV/HHV-8) RTA is an important protein involved in the induction of KSHV lytic replication from latency through activation of the lytic cascade. A number of cellular and viral proteins, including K-RBP, have been found to repress RTA-mediated transactivation and KSHV lytic replication. However, it is unclear as to how RTA overcomes the suppression...
