KSHV upregulates the long non-coding RNA PURPL via p73 to suppress p53
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of regulatory RNAs with lengths exceeding 200 nucleotides. The lncRNA PURPL (p53 upregulated regulator of p53 levels) is a p53-regulated gene. PURPL is an oncogenic lncRNA that represses p53 function; it is upregulated in many tumors and promotes cancer…
