Structural basis underlying viral hijacking of a histone chaperone complex
The Epstein-Barr virus tegument protein BNRF1 is required for the establishment of selective viral gene expression during latency and interacts with the histone chaperone DAXX. Here the authors provide structural insight into how BNRF1 hijacks the DAXX-histone H3.3-H4 complex.
