Role of the CTCF Binding Site in Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus-1 Pathogenesis
2024-05-28
Abstract excerpt
During HTLV-1 infection, the virus integrates into the host cell genome as a provirus with a single CCCTC binding protein (CTCF) binding site (vCTCF-BS), which acts as an insulator between transcriptionally active and inactive regions. Previous studies have shown that the vCTCF-BS is important for maintenance of chromatin structure, regulation of viral expression, and DNA and histone methylation. Here, we show tha...
