Description:
A human papovavirus, JCV, is the etiologic agent of the fatal demyelinating disease, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. The JCV 98-base-pair tandem repeats, located to the late side of the viral replication origin, were shown to be a transcriptional regulatory element with enhancer-like activity in human fetal glial cells. These tandem repeats share significant homology with the 82-nucleotide rat brain-specific identifier RNA sequence.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kenney, S -- Natarajan, V -- Strike, D -- Khoury, G -- Salzman, N P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Dec 14;226(4680):1337-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6095453" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
