  • Genome-Wide Analysis of Host-Chromosome Binding Sites For
    Lu et al. Virology Journal 2010, 7:262 http://www.virologyj.com/content/7/1/262 RESEARCH Open Access Genome-wide analysis of host-chromosome binding sites for Epstein-Barr Virus Nuclear Antigen 1 (EBNA1) Fang Lu1, Priyankara Wikramasinghe1, Julie Norseen1,2, Kevin Tsai1, Pu Wang1, Louise Showe1, Ramana V Davuluri1, Paul M Lieberman1* Abstract The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Nuclear Antigen 1 (EBNA1) protein is required for the establishment of EBV latent infection in proliferating B-lymphocytes. EBNA1 is a multifunctional DNA-binding protein that stimulates DNA replication at the viral origin of plasmid replication (OriP), regulates transcription of viral and cellular genes, and tethers the viral episome to the cellular chromosome. EBNA1 also provides a survival function to B-lymphocytes, potentially through its ability to alter cellular gene expression. To better understand these various functions of EBNA1, we performed a genome-wide analysis of the viral and cellular DNA sites associated with EBNA1 protein in a latently infected Burkitt lymphoma B-cell line. Chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP) combined with massively parallel deep-sequencing (ChIP-Seq) was used to identify cellular sites bound by EBNA1. Sites identified by ChIP- Seq were validated by conventional real-time PCR, and ChIP-Seq provided quantitative, high-resolution detection of the known EBNA1 binding sites on the EBV genome at OriP and Qp. We identified at least one cluster of unusually high-affinity EBNA1 binding sites on chromosome 11, between the divergent FAM55 D and FAM55B genes. A con- sensus for all cellular EBNA1 binding sites is distinct from those derived from the known viral binding sites, sug- gesting that some of these sites are indirectly bound by EBNA1.

Contact us for customized product form or formulation. Reconstitution Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions.For best performance, we strongly recommend you to follow the reconstitution protocol provided in the CoA. Storage For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower.Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. No activity loss was observed after storage at: ● 4-8℃ for 12 months in lyophilized state; ● -70℃ for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution. Background Background CD Antigen CD27 is also known as Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 7 (TNFRSF7), which belongs to TNF- receptor superfamily. CD27 / TNFRSF7 is found in most T-lymphocytes. CD27 / TNFRSF7 is required for generation and long-term maintenance of T cell immunity. It binds to ligand CD70, and plays a key role in regulating B-cell activation and immunoglobulin synthesis.
