Kinetochore Proteins CENPB and LIC2 are critical for Episome Persistence and Replication of Kaposis's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) establishes lifelong latency by maintaining its genome as circular episomes tethered to host chromatin and faithfully segregated during mitosis. This process is primarily mediated by the latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA), which interacts with host chromosome-associated factors to ensure viral genome persistence. Several kinetochore proteins,…
