Abstract excerpt
The EA-R and NotI repeat genes of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are oriented head to head and separated by a 1,000-base-pair (bp) divergent promoter region. We have identified functional domains within this divergent promoter which are important for regulation of the rightward EA-R gene. Both the R transactivator (Rta) and the Z transactivator (Zta) increase the abundance of correctly initiated EA-R transcripts. A...
