Project description:KSHV K8 is required for KSHV DNA replication and is found to be an RNA binding protein. To understand the molecular mechanism of K8 in regulation of DNA replication, we examine the binding RNAs of K8 protein in BCBL-1 cells using CLIP-Seq analysis.
Project description:We performed Ago HITS-CLIP to identify targets of viral and human miRNAs in latently KSHV-infected PEL cells Ago HITS-CLIP was performed in two latently infected PEL cell lines, BCBL-1 and BC-3; Argonaute-immunoprecipitation of UV cross-linked Ago-miRNA-mRNA complexes, followed by RNA isolation, library construction, and high-throughput sequencing (Illumina GAxII); we performed 3 biological replicates for each cell line, two technical (sequencing) replicates of BCBL-1 biological replicate 1
Project description:AGO-PAR-CLIP was employed to identify microRNA binding sites in BCBL-1, a Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infected B-cell line and DG75, a KSHV negative B-cell line as a control. By using our novel computational method (PARma) and differential analysis of PAR-CLIP data, highly accurate target sites of KSHV microRNAs can be defined.

Examination of microRNA target sites in two different cell lines using replicate PAR-CLIP experiments
Project description:ZIC2 is required for the maintenance of KSHV latency in human host cells. To understand the molecular action of ZIC2, we map ZIC2 binding sites across the KSHV genome in BCBL-1 cells using ChIP-Seq analysis.
Project description:Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) ORF57 is a viral RNA-binding protein essential for viral lytic gene expression. ORF57 binds to target RNA directly via interaction with cellular cofactors. To investigate the entire repertoire of ORF57-associated RNAs we performed UV cross-linking immunoprecipitatin (CLIP) experiment using an affinity-purified, highly specific anti-ORF57 antibody in KSHV-infected primariy effusion lymphoma BCBL-1 cells undegoing lytic virus replication.
Project description:The objective of this study was to identify the binding sites of KSHV encoded imemdiate early protein, RTA and early protein, K8 on KSHV genome by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay and sequencing of the DNA bound to RTA and K8
Project description:[original title] Mock or latently infected KSHV cells (BCBL, SLK and HFF) vs common reference (mixture of RNA from both infected and uninfected cells). Expression profiling of latently infected cells using a custom tiling microarray. SLK and HFF cells were infected and selected for rKSHV.219. Mock infected SLK and HFF cells served as controls for each of these two stably infected cells, respectively. BJAB cells served as uninfected controls for the BCBL-1 cells. Biological replicates were harvested and analyzed. Two condition experiment: mock infected vs. latently infected cells. Three cell types.
