Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection of a cell containing latent Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) results in the activation of KSHV lytic replication and the production of infectious virus. In this study, we examined the HCMV genes identified as having a role in the activation of HCMV early genes for their ability to activate KSHV lytic replication. It was found that the UL112-113 locus was able to activate the complete KSHV lytic cycle, while the UL122-123 locus, encoding the IE1 and IE2 proteins, known to be strong transactivators, did not.
人类巨细胞病毒(HCMV)感染含有潜伏性卡波西肉瘤相关疱疹病毒(KSHV)的细胞会导致KSHV裂解复制的激活以及传染性病毒的产生。在本研究中,我们检测了被确定在HCMV早期基因激活中起作用的HCMV基因激活KSHV裂解复制的能力。结果发现,UL112 - 113基因座能够激活完整的KSHV裂解周期,而编码已知为强反式激活因子的IE1和IE2蛋白的UL122 - 123基因座则不能。
