Role of the histone H3 lysine 9 methyltransferase Suv39 h1 in maintaining Epsteinn–Barr virus latency in B95–8 cells
The ability of Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) to establish latent infection is associated with infectious mononucleosis and a number of malignancies. In EBV, the product of the BZLF1 gene (ZEBRA) acts as a master regulator of the transition from latency to the lytic replication cycle in latently infected cells. EBV latency is primarily maintained by hypoacetylation of histone proteins in the BZLF1 promoter by histone deacetylases. Although histone methylation is involved in the organization of chromatin domains and has a central epigenetic role in gene expression, its role in maintaining EBV latency is not well understood. Her...
