Host-encoded CTCF regulates human cytomegalovirus latency via chromatin looping
Ian J. Groves, Stephen M. Matthews, Christine M. O’Connor
This study shows CTCF binding to the HCMV MIE locus maintains latency by enabling chromatin looping that represses transcription, which is lost during reactivation.
