To resolve conflicting findings regarding whether Epstein-Barr virus small RNA genes are transcriptionally regulated during the transition to lytic viral replication.
Enriched cell culture models for lytically infected Epstein-Barr virus cells.
Assayed the transcriptional activity of EBER-1 and EBER-2 genes using nuclear run-on assays.
EBER-1 and EBER-2 genes undergo differential downregulation at the transcriptional level during the transition to lytic replication.
Transcriptional suppression of both EBER genes serves as an early event in the lytic viral cycle.
