Identification of the Physiological Gene Targets of the Essential Lytic Replicative Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus ORF57 Protein
20 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) ORF57 gene product is essential for lytic KSHV replication and virion production. Recombinant ORF57-null mutants fail to accumulate several lytic cycle mRNAs at wild-type levels, leading to decreased production of lytic proteins necessary for efficient replication. Several mechanisms by which ORF57 may enhance expression of lytic KSHV mRNAs have been...
