Abstract excerpt
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) proteins BZLF1 and BMRF1 are both essential for lytic EBV replication. BZLF1 is a transcriptional activator which binds directly to the lytic origin of replication (oriLyt) and plays a critical role in the disruption of viral latency. The BMRF1 protein is required for viral polymerase processivity. Here we demonstrate that the BMRF1 gene product functions as a transcriptional...
