DNA-Packing Portal and Capsid-Associated Tegument Complexes in the Tumor Herpesvirus KSHV. [PDF]
Assembly of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) begins at a bacteriophage-like portal complex that nucleates formation of an icosahedral capsid with capsid-associated tegument complexes (CATCs) and facilitates translocation of an ∼150-kb dsDNA

Mitotic chromosome-binding activity of latency-associated nuclear antigen 1 is required for DNA replication from terminal repeat sequence of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus [PDF]
Latency-associated nuclear antigen 1 (LANA1) of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is implicated in the persistence of the viral genome during latent infection.

Hepatic Kaposi Sarcoma after Kidney Transplantation: A Case Report
Kaposi sarcoma is an undisputed malignancy associated with a heightened relative risk after transplantation. Similar to other causes of Kaposi’s sarcoma, cutaneous involvement is typical in post-transplant patients; however, visceral involvement rarely

The interplay between viral-derived miRNAs and host immunity during infection [PDF]
MicroRNAs are short non-coding RNAs that play a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression during cellular processes. The host-encoded miRNAs are known to modulate the antiviral defense during viral infection.
