associated region. Knockdown of KSHV miR-K12-3 and miR-K12-11 increased expression
of lytic genes in BC-3 cells, and increased virus production from latently infected BCBL-1
cells. Furthermore, iSLK cells infected with miR-K12-3 and miR-K12-11 deletion mutant
viruses displayed increased spontaneous reactivation and were more sensitive to inducers
of reactivation than cells infected with wild type KSHV. Predicted binding sites for miR-K12-3 …
