Epigenetic modification of the Epstein-Barr virus BZLF1 promoter regulates viral reactivation from latency
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an oncogenic human gamma-herpesvirus that predominantly establishes latent infection in B lymphocytes. Viral genomes exist as extrachromosomal episomes with a nucleosomal structure. Maintenance of virus latency or execution of reactivation is controlled by the expression of BZLF1, a viral immediate-early gene product, tightly controlled at the transcriptional level. In this...
