The Replisome Pausing Factor Timeless Is Required for Episomal Maintenance of Latent Epstein-Barr Virus
14 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome is maintained as an extrachromosomal episome during latent infection of B lymphocytes. Episomal maintenance is conferred by the interaction of the EBV-encoded nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) with a tandem array of high-affinity binding sites, referred to as the family of repeats (FR), located within the viral origin of plasmid replication (OriP). How this nucleoprotein array confers...
