HSV-1 LAT Promoter Deletion Viruses Exhibit Strain-Specific and LAT-Dependent Epigenetic Regulation of Latent Viral Genomes in Human Neurons
1 Feb 2023
Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) establishes a lifelong infection in neuronal cells. Periodically, the virus reactivates from this latent state and causes recurrent disease. Mechanisms that control entry into and maintenance of latency are not well understood, though epigenetic posttranslational modification of histones associated with the viral genome are known to play an important role. During latency, the...
