Figure 4. ZtaC189S binding to meZREs in Rp is compromised in vivo.
A. Schematic representation of the BRLF1 gene. The black arrow indicates the primary transcript. The location of primer sets used to detect sub-regions of Rp and upstream and downstream regions are indicated relative to the transcription start site. B. HisZta and HisZtaC189S were introduced into 293-BZLF1-KO cells and chromatin prepared. Chromatin affinity purification was undertaken and binding to Rp detected with the indicated primer sets by real-time PCR. The signal was set relative to the “empty vector”, pcDNA3 (striped box), and the signal for Zta (filled box) and ZtaC189S (open box) are shown together with the standard error from duplicate experiments. C. Expression of HisZta, HisZtaC189S and a loading control, PARP, were assessed by western blot analysis.
