Site-Specific Association with Host and Viral Chromatin by Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus LANA and Its Reversal during Lytic Reactivation
3 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA), a multifunctional protein expressed by the Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) in latently infected cells, is required for stable maintenance of the viral episome. This is mediated by two interactions: LANA binds to specific sequences (LBS1 and LBS2) on viral DNA and also engages host histones, tethering the viral genome to host chromosomes in...
