Genomic Intrusions of the Three Most Dangerous Herpesviruses

Genomic Intrusions of the Three Most Dangerous Herpesviruses 

Indirecte oncogenic herpesviruses EBV and KSHV. EBV. Some protein products of herpes viral genomic segments (EBV) encounter c-Myc proteins, form host cell and viral protein complexes, thus inducing immune reactions to host cell proteins via the phenomenon of molecular mimicry, so claim Niller et al [925, 926].

CANT repeat sequences. RBP-Jk enhances Rta s binding afiftnity. Rta transactivates the Mta promoter. The CANT repeats are depicted in the article and the last figure is a cartoon showing the interaction of the CANT repetitive elements with the Rta/RBP-JK complex [931].
