Updated Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) DNA sequence and analysis of a promoter for the BART (CST, BARF0) RNAs of EBV de Jesus, Orlando and Smith, Paul R. and Spender, Lindsay C. and Elgueta Karstegl, Claudio and Niller, Hans Helmut and Huang, Dolly and Farrell, Paul J.,, 84, 1443-1450 (2003), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/vir.0.19054-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 0022-1317, abstract= Two sequences required for activity of the Epstein–Barr virus BART RNA promoter in transfection assays have been identified by site-directed mutagenesis. One contains a consensus AP-1 site; the other has some similarity to Ets and Stat consensus binding sites. Candidate sequences were suggested by mapping a region of unmethylated DNA in EBV around the BART promoter followed by in vivo footprinting the promoter in the C666-1 nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line, which expresses BART RNAs. The data are presented in the context of a revised EBV DNA sequence, known as EBV wt, that is proposed as a future standard sequence for EBV., language=, type=
