Herpesvirus late gene expression: a viral-specific pre-initiation complex is key

H Gruffat, R Marchione, E Manet - Frontiers in microbiology, 2016 - frontiersin.org
During their productive cycle, herpesviruses exhibit a strictly regulated temporal cascade of
gene expression that can be divided into three general stages: immediate-early (IE), early …

Better late than never: A unique strategy for late gene transcription in the beta-and gammaherpesviruses

SE Dremel, AL Didychuk - Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2023 - Elsevier
During lytic replication, herpesviruses express their genes in a temporal cascade
culminating in expression of “late” genes. Two subfamilies of herpesviruses, the beta-and …

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus ORF18 and ORF30 are essential for late gene expression during lytic replication

D Gong, NC Wu, Y **e, J Feng, L Tong… - Journal of …, 2014 - Am Soc Microbiol
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is associated with several human
malignances. As saliva is likely the major vehicle for KSHV transmission, we studied in vitro …

Transcription of true late (γ2) cytomegalovirus genes requires UL92 function that is conserved among beta-and gammaherpesviruses

S Omoto, ES Mocarski - Journal of virology, 2014 - Am Soc Microbiol
Human cytomegalovirus-encoded UL92 plays an essential role in viral replication that has
not been resolved. We show here that this gene controls the accumulation of true late (γ2) …
