So happy to see a paper by my graduate student, Daniel Kim, chosen as a spotlight for the @JVirology 👏🏼 Daniel found that HSV-1 genome binds to RUNX1 and represses transcription of viral genes - a possible viral strategy to achieve latent infection. (1/n)

Herpesviruses establish latent infection in neurons and leukocytes that express RUNX1 (transcription factor). Curiously, herpesvirus genomes are enriched in RUNX1 binding sites but not other viruses. (2/n)
Overexpression of RUNX1 but not RUNX3 (a related transcription factor that is not expressed in the cell type in which HSV-1 established latency) blunts HSV-1 infection in vitro. (3/n)
