Kaposi Sarcoma herpesvirus reactivation and replication are dispensable for cell-lineage specific tumorigenesis in whole genome transgenic mice

This study shows that KSHV tumorigenesis can occur without viral reactivation or replication in a whole-genome transgenic mouse model.

Electron microscopy mapping of the DNA-binding sites of monomeric, dimeric, and multimeric KSHV RTA protein

The paper uses electron microscopy to map DNA-binding sites of KSHV RTA protein and identifies its oligomeric states when bound to viral DNA.
