Daxx mediated histone H3.3 deposition on HSV-1 DNA restricts genome decompaction and the progression of immediate-early transcription

Ashley P. E. Roberts, Anne Orr, Victor Iliev, Lauren Orr, Steven McFarlane, Zhousiyu Yang, Ilaria Epifano, Colin Loney, Milagros Collados Rodríguez, Anna Ruth Cliffe, Kristen L. Conn, Chris Boutell

This study identifies Daxx-mediated histone H3.3 deposition on HSV-1 DNA as a host restriction factor that limits genome decompaction and immediate-early transcription.

Neurotropic and non-neurotropic equid alphaherpesvirus 1 (EHV1) mobilize most histones within viral replication compartments

Kristen L. Conn

This study shows that both neurotropic and non-neurotropic EHV1 strains mobilize most histones within viral replication compartments, suggesting a common mechanism to prevent chromatin-mediated genome silencing.
