Epigenetics of human herpesvirus latency

Human Herpes Viruses, also known as HHVs, are a family of DNA viruses that cause several diseases in humans. One of the most notable functions of this virus family is their ability to enter a latent phase and lay dormant within animals for extended periods of time. The mechanism that controls this is very complex because expression of viral proteins during latency is decreased a great deal, meaning that the virus must have transcription of its genes repressed. There are many factors and mechanisms that control this process and epigenetics is one way this is accomplished. Epigenetics refers to persistent changes in expression patterns that are not caused by changes to the DNA sequence. This happens through mechanisms such as methylation and acetylation of histones, DNA methylation, and non-coding RNAs (ncRNA). Altering the acetylation of histones creates changes in expression by changing the binding affinity of histones to DNA, making it harder or easier for transcription machinery to access the DNA. Methyl and acetyl groups can also act as binding sites for transcription factors and enzymes that further modify histones or alter the DNA itself.
== Herpesvirus life cycle ==
Human herpesviruses are all double stranded DNA viruses that enter the nucleus of the host cell. HHVs replicate in the nucleus of the infected cells and can enter both a lytic and latent phase. In the lytic phase, the viral genes are being actively transcribed and many times ultimately lead to cell death. In the lytic phase the virus is able to spread to other hosts due to open sores and other such mechanisms. In the latent phase the amount of viral transcript is heavily reduced. In this phase the host will show little to no signs of virus infection. This state can be maintained for very long periods of time and infection with HHVs can last a lifetime.
