Better late than never: A unique strategy for late gene transcription in the beta- and gammaherpesviruses
2023, Seminars in Cell and Developmental BiologyCitation Excerpt :A major breakthrough came in 2012, when the Manet group showed that the EBV homolog BcRF1 is required for late gene transcription. They showed that purified BcRF1 protein is capable of binding to a late gene promoter in vitro and is dependent on the aforementioned asparagine residues predicted to be important for DNA binding in TBP [10,69]. KSHV and MHV68 ORF24 were also found to be able to bind to TATT-containing DNA probes in vitro [9,57].
UL49 is an essential subunit of the viral pre-initiation complex that regulates human cytomegalovirus gene transcription
2022, iScienceCitation Excerpt :A genome-wide interaction study of KSHV identified ORF24 to be the essential DNA binding protein of the vPIC, which subsequently recruited the other 5 complex members (Davis et al., 2015). The EBV and HCMV orthologs of ORF24, BcRF1, and UL87, respectively, share the conserved TBP fold, so are likely to be the DNA binding proteins in their respective vPICs (Gruffat et al., 2012; Wyrwicz and Rychlewski, 2007). KSHV ORF24 has also been shown to recruit host RNA polymerase, based on conserved residues in the N-terminal domain binding to both the C-terminal domain of host pol II and promoter DNA (Castañeda et al., 2020).
