Dynamic Chromatin Environment of Key Lytic Cycle Regulatory Regions of the Epstein-Barr Virus Genome

Abstract excerpt

The ability of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) to establish latency allows it to evade the immune system and to persist for the lifetime of its host; one distinguishing characteristic is the lack of transcription of the majority of viral genes. Entry into the lytic cycle is coordinated by the viral transcription factor, Zta (BZLF1, ZEBRA, and EB1), and downstream effectors, while viral genome replication requires the...
