Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) immediate-early 2 (IE2) protein is the major transactivator for viral gene expression and is required for lytic replication. In addition to transcriptional activation, IE2 is known to mediate transcriptional repression of promoters, including the major immediate-early (MIE) promoter and a bidirectional promoter within the lytic origin of replication (oriLyt). The activity of IE2 is...
