Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Encodes a bZIP Protein with Homology to BZLF1 of Epstein-Barr Virus
1 Mar 1999
Abstract excerpt
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a recently discovered human gamma herpesvirus strongly implicated in AIDS-related neoplasms. We report here the identification in the KSHV genome of a gene for a protein designated K-bZIP and belonging to the basic-leucine zipper (bZIP) family of transcription factors. K-bZIP shows significant homology to BZLF1, which plays a key role in the replication and...
