LTRs activated by Epstein-Barr virus-induced transformation of B cells alter the transcriptome
2017-12-13
Abstract excerpt
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are ancient viral elements that have accumulated in the genome through retrotransposition events. Although they have lost their ability to transpose, many of the long terminal repeats (LTRs) that originally flanked full-length ERVs maintain the ability to regulate transcription. While these elements are typically repressed in somatic cells, when this repression is lost, they can func...
