Abstract excerpt
Following infection, the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) genome becomes rapidly associated with host histones which can contribute to the regulation of viral gene expression. This can be seen clearly during HCMV latency where silencing of the major immediate early promoter (MIEP), normally responsible for expression of the key lytic proteins IE72 and IE86, is mediated by histone methylation and recruitment of...
