摘要: Viruses recruit host proteins to secure viral genome maintenance and replication. However, whether they modify histones directly interfere with chromatin-based transcription is unknown. Here we report that Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus 1 (PBCV-1) encodes a functional SET domain histone Lys methyltransferase (HKMTase) termed vSET, which linked rapid inhibition of after infection. We show vSET packaged in the PBCV-1 virion, it contains nuclear localization signal probably represses by methylating H3 at 27 (H3K27), modification known trigger gene silencing eukaryotes. also induces cell accumulation G2/M phase recruiting Polycomb repressive complex CBX8 methylated H3K27 site heterologous system, vSET-like have methylation activity are conserved viruses. Our findings suggest mechanism repress direct chromatin vSET.
