“…In the presence of helper virus, the two larger Rep proteins, Rep78 and Rep68, are required for AAV DNA replication (40,48,101), control of AAV transcription (9,58,60,61,66,77,111,129), alternative splicing of viral RNA (86), viral DNA packaging (24,31,54,83,119), and site-specific integration of viral DNA into human chromosome 19 (3,56). In addition, the expression of Rep proteins has been shown to inhibit Ad (21,22,51), simian virus 40 (SV40) (4,127), bovine papillomavirus (38), human immunodeficiency virus (1), and herpesvirus propagation (51,55); inhibit transcription from a variety of cellular and viral promoters (1,37,39,44,53,59,121,122); and efficiently arrest cells in the S phase (12,36,92,128). To accomplish these tasks, Rep is believed to interact with a variety of cellular and helper virus proteins, which have thus far been poorly defined.…”
