This study shows KSHV upregulates the oncogenic lncRNA PURPL through p73 to suppress p53, promoting PEL cell proliferation.

This study shows that LINE-1 retrotransposons are upregulated in KSHV-infected cells and their knockdown impairs proliferation and alters gene expression.

This study identifies SMURF2 and USP7 as regulators of KAP1 ubiquitination, showing that this dynamic cycle controls KAP1's SUMOylation activity and impacts chromatin structure and cancer progression.

This study identifies constitutive and lytically induced enhancers in the KSHV genome using functional assays and CRISPR techniques, revealing a 'viral super-enhancer' that regulates latency-to-lytic transition.
