Whereas cellular gene expression may be either enhanced or inhibited by specific epigenetic modifications deposited on histones (in particular, histone H3), these epigenetic modifications can also repress viral gene expression, potentially functioning as a potent antiviral innate immune response in DNA virus-infected cells. First, the viral protein VP16, which is packaged into the tegument layer of incoming virions, recruits host proteins, including host-cell factor 1 (HCF-1) and octamer-binding factor (Oct-1), in order to form a complex that recruits the histone demethylases lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) and Jumonji domain 2 (JMJD2) family members as a means to remove repressive H3K9 marks from viral immediate early promoters 42 Upon entry into the cell nucleus, the DNA of many viruses initiates the replication process adjacent to subnuclear structures called pro-myelocytic leukaemia nuclear bodies (PML-NBs). ./cache/cord-343470-w215pzdc.txt ./txt/cord-343470-w215pzdc.txt
