The ORF45 gene of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) encodes a multifunctional tegument protein. Here, we characterize the transcriptional control of the ORF45 gene and show that its promoter can be activated by ORF50 protein, a latent-lytic switch transactivator. The ORF45 promoter can also be induced by sodium butyrate (SB), a histone deacetylase inhibitor, in the absence of ORF50 protein...
Lytic cycle reactivation of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is initiated by expression of the ORF50 gene. Here we show that YY1 protein specifically binds to the ORF50 promoter (ORF50p) region in vitro and in vivo. After treatment with chemical inducers, including sodium butyrate (SB) and TPA, the levels of YY1 protein are inversely correlated with the lytic induction of KSHV in cells...
ORF50 protein activates the KSHV lytic cycle. The promoter of an early lytic-cycle gene ORF47, encoding envelope protein gL, is activated by an interaction between ORF50 protein and RBP-Jκ. In ORF47p only one of two sequences fitting the consensus RBP-Jκ recognition site strongly binds RBP-Jκ and confers a response to ORF50 protein. Flanking sequences 5′ to the RBP-Jκ binding site are required to...
The ORF61 and ORF60 genes of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) encode the ribonucleotide reductase large and small subunits, respectively. Here we show that ORF50 protein, a latent-lytic switch transactivator, activates the transcription of these two early-lytic genes through different mechanisms. Activation of the ORF61 promoter by ORF50 protein is dependent on an intact RBP-Jκ-binding...
