Characterization of the DNA-binding site repertoire for the Epstein - Barr virus transcription factor R
1 Jan 1994
Abstract excerpt
The Epstein-Barr virus gene BRLF1 encodes the transcription factor R, which is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein important for the switch from latency to a productive cycle. We have defined a repertoire of specific R-binding sites using a GST-R fusion protein and a pool of 23 bp random DNA sequences. The R-bound sequences were selected by several rounds of Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA) and...
