KSHV Terminal Repeat Regulates Inducible Lytic Gene Promoters

Y. Izumiya, A. Algalil, J. M. Espera, H. Miura, T. Inagaki, C. Izumiya, A. Kumar

This paper identifies KSHV terminal repeat (TR) as a regulatory domain that enhances lytic gene promoters through interactions with LANA and histone modifications.

Kaposis Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus (KSHV) LANA Prevents KSHV Episomes from Degradation

K.-i. Nakajima, T. Inagaki, J. M. Espera, Y. Izumiya

This study shows that KSHV LANA prevents viral genomic DNA degradation by inhibiting the cGAS-STING pathway, maintaining latency.

Auxin-inducible Degron (AID) to Dissect Kaposi's Sarcoma associated Herpesvirus (KSHV) LANA protein function

K.-i. Nakajima, J. M. Espera, Y. Izumiya

This study uses an inducible degradation system to investigate KSHV LANA's role in latency and lytic reactivation, finding that LANA depletion reduces viral genome stability and lytic gene expression.
