MicroRNA miR-BART20-5p Stabilizes Epstein-Barr Virus Latency by Directly Targeting BZLF1 and BRLF1

5 Jun 2014

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a human herpesvirus associated with various tumors. Rather than going through the lytic cycle, EBV maintains latency by limiting the expression of viral genes in tumors. Viral microRNAs (miRNAs) of some herpesviruses have been reported to directly target immediate early genes and suppress lytic induction. In this study, we investigated whether BamHI-A rightward transcript...
