Background

Function
KSHV K8a is a SUMO E3 ligase that plays a role in viral gene regulation and is essential for viral reactivation. Disrupts host G1 cell cycle control thus allowing viral transcription and translation to proceed at the early stages of infection. Catalyzes its own SUMO modification as well as that of its interacting partners such as host TP53 and RB1. Regulates viral gene expression and reactivation and may mediate the SUMOylation of viral promoters in the low methylated 'Lys-9' histone H3 (H3K9me) region which results in a diminution of viral gene expression after reactivation. SUMOylates also host histone lysine demethylase 4A/KDM4A, an essential step for complete enrichment of SUMO-2/3 on the viral genome during viral transactivation and reactivation[1][2][3][4].
