Single-genome analysis reveals heterogeneous association of the Herpes Simplex Virus genome with H3K27me2 and the reader PHF20L1 following infection of human fibroblasts

A. K. Francois, A. Rohani, M. S. Loftus, S. A. Dochnal, J. Hrit, S. McFarlane, A. L. Whitford, A. Lewis, P. A. Krakowiak, C. Boutell, S. B. Rothbart, D. Kashatus, A. R. Cliffe

This study investigates the association of HSV-1 genomes with H3K27me2 and PHF20L1 in fibroblasts, finding that H3K27me2 is linked to genome silencing and that this association is influenced by demethylase activity and transcriptional state.

c-Jun Signaling During Initial HSV-1 Infection Modulates Latency to Enhance Later Reactivation in addition to Directly Promoting the Progression to Full Reactivation

S. A. Dochnal, A. L. Whitford, A. K. Francois, P. A. Krakowiak, S. R. Cuddy, A. R. Cliffe

This study shows c-Jun signaling during HSV-1 initial infection promotes latency and enhances later reactivation by facilitating the transition from Phase I to Phase II reactivation.
