Abstract excerpt
The protein encoded by open reading frame 50 (ORF50) of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) functions as a transcriptional activator and in lytic viral DNA replication to mediate the switch from latent viral infection to the lytic phase. Here we identify regulatory regions of ORF50 protein that independently control DNA binding and abundance of the protein. One region contains a DNA-binding inhibitory...
