“…CpG methylation switches off gene expression and induces the alternative transcription of EBNA1 from various promoters in the different latency stages that, at the same time, are associated with the pathology that the virus induces, from a simple infection to a lymphoma or carcinoma (Li and Minarovits, 2003;Yoshioka et al, 2003;Niller et al, 2008). Although Wp, Cp and Fp have been found methylated in a specific latency type, Qp remains unmethylated, irrespective of its activity, and is thought to be regulated by a putative repressor protein and specific histone modifications (Tao et al, 1998;Paulson and Speck, 1999;Salamon et al, 2001;Li and Minarovits, 2003;Tao and Robertson, 2003;Minarovits, 2006;Fejer et al, 2008;Fernandez et al, 2009). …”
