The Iridovirus frog virus 3: a model for trans-acting proteins.
The amphibian Iridovirus, frog virus 3 (FV3), produces at least two trans-activating proteins that stimulate the expression of viral genes. One of these proteins induces transcription from the promoter of an immediate-early FV3 gene, whereas the other induces transcription from exogenously methylated DNA. These proteins may serve as a model for both viral and cellular trans-acting factors.
