Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) K8 protein This family consists of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) K8 proteins. KSHV is a human Gammaherpesvirus related to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and herpesvirus saimiri. KSHV open reading frame K8 encodes a basic region-leucine zipper protein of 237 aa that homodimerizes. K8 interacts and co-localizes with human pfam04855, a cellular chromatin-remodelling factor, both in vivo and in vitro. K8 is thought to function as a transcriptional activator under specific conditions and its transactivation activity requires its interaction with the cellular chromatin remodelling factor hSNF5.
