Epstein-Barr Virus DNA Replication

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and its close relatives are the only known viruses that have two fully independent systems for replicating their genomes, one that supports virus production during active or "lytic" infection, and a second one that operates during latent stages of infection to allow the circular viral genomes to be duplicated during each cell division cycle. Although EBV's system of lyt...

Replication of Epstein-Barr viral DNA.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a paradigm for human tumor viruses: it is the first virus recognized to cause cancer in people; it causes both lymphomas and carcinomas; yet these tumors arise infrequently given that most people in the world are infected with the virus. EBV is maintained extrachromosomally in infected normal and tumor cells. Eighty-four percent of these viral plasmids replicate each...

Two Epstein-Barr Virus-associated DNA Polymerase

We have partially purified and characterized two separate DNA polymerase activities associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EB virus). One activity is present in EB virus producer cell lines but not in nonproducer or negative cell lines. It adheres more strongly to DEAE-cellulose than any host cell enzymes, eluting at 210 to 270 mM potassium phosphate buffer. Further elution from phosphocellulose a...

The mouse ribosomal DNA amplification promoting sequence 1 is highly methylated and repeated in the genome.

Upstream of the mouse 45S pre-ribosomal RNA promoter there are regions that are involved in enhancement of pre-rRNA transcription, origin of replication and promotion of amplification. We report that in different mouse strains and cell lines the enhancer region, which overlaps with the origin of replication, is hypo-methylated. Contrary to that the amplification-promoting sequences 1 and 2, ide...

U2 region of Epstein-Barr virus DNA may encode Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 2.

Sequence analysis of the U2 regions of the B95-8 and AG876 Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) isolates reveals divergence within a long open reading frame previously identified as encoding 1.5 kilobases of the 3' end of a viral RNA expressed in latently infected, growth-transformed, B-lymphocyte cell lines. Differences among EBV isolates within the U2 open reading frame are shown to correlate with differ...
