We used a transient-transfection replication assay to identify two functional copies of the human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) lytic origin of DNA replication (oriLyt). BCLB-1 cells were transfected with HHV8 subgenomic fragments containing the putative lytic origin along with a plasmid expressing viral transactivator open reading frame (ORF) 50. The HHV8 left-end oriLyt (oriLyt-L) lies between ORFs K4.2 and K5 and is composed of a region encoding various transcription factor binding sites and an A+T-rich region and a G+C repeat region. The right-end oriLyt (oriLyt-R) maps between ORF 69 and vFLIP, a region similar to the RRV oriLyt, and is an inverted duplication of oriLyt-L.
我们使用瞬时转染复制分析来鉴定人类疱疹病毒8(HHV8)DNA复制裂解起始点(oriLyt)的两个功能拷贝。将含有假定裂解起始点的HHV8亚基因组片段与表达病毒反式激活因子开放阅读框(ORF)50的质粒一起转染到BCLB - 1细胞中。HHV8左端oriLyt(oriLyt - L)位于ORF K4.2和K5之间,由一个编码各种转录因子结合位点的区域、一个富含A + T的区域和一个G + C重复区域组成。右端oriLyt(oriLyt - R)定位在ORF 69和vFLIP之间,该区域与RRV oriLyt相似,是oriLyt - L的反向重复序列。
