Cloning and Functional Analysis of Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus DNA Polymerase and Its Processivity Factor
1 Jul 1998
Abstract excerpt
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), or human herpesvirus 8, is a newly identified virus with tumorigenic potential. Here, we cloned and expressed the DNA polymerase (Pol-8) of KSHV and its processivity factor (PF-8). Pol-8 bound specifically to PF-8 in vitro. Moreover, the DNA synthesis activity of Pol-8 was shown in vitro to be strongly dependent on PF-8. Addition of PF-8 to Pol-8 allowed efficient...
