摘要
The successful colonization of the majority of the population by human cytomegalovirus is a direct result of the virus's ability to establish and, more specifically, reactivate from latency. The underlying cellular factors involved in viral reactivation remain unknown. Here, we show that the host complex facilitates chromatin transcription ( FACT) binds to the major immediate early promoter ( MIEP) and that inhibition of this complex reduces MIEP transactivation, thus inhibiting viral reactivation.
