The effect of YY1 site mutation on ORF10 gene expression. A) The nucleotide sequence of the ORF9-ORF10 intergenic region. The YY1 site is boxed. The USF site reported to be important for ORF10 expression is underlined. B and C) The results of triplicate assays assessing the effects of the presence of the YY1 site mutation in the ORF10 promoter on the expression levels of the firefly luciferase reporter in the context of B) pCMV-ORF62 transfection and C) VZV super-infection. The promoter activities resulting from the presence of transfected ORF62 or VZV super-infection are reported as induction (n-fold) of luciferase activity over basal (without ORF62 transfection or VZV super-infection respectively). Statistical significance was determined by a one-way ANOVA analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. Error bars indicate standard error.
