RESUMO

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) K8.1 late promoter consists of a minimal 24-bp sequence, with a TATA-like, 12-bp promoter core, AATATTAAAGGG, and is active on a reporter only in butyrate-induced KSHV-infected cells. The activity of the K8.1 promoter can be enhanced (>15-fold) by the KSHV left-end lytic origin of DNA replication (oriLyt-L) sequence while providing inefficient replication of plasmid DNA and is inhibited by viral DNA replication inhibitors, suggesting that activation of the K8.1 promoter on the reporter is involved in KSHV lytic DNA replication largely by trans.
