KSHV Noncoding RNA Protein Interaction and Splicing Factor Data

Primers and GapmeRs data supports a study identifying 51 human and 3 viral proteins interacting with a Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus noncoding RNA. The dataset, created by Yuan Hong and updated in March 2026, is a small 10.3 KB Excel file detailing molecular tools for investigating viral-host interactions.

Use Cases

• Analyze the list of 54 identified human and viral proteins to model protein-RNA interaction networks.
• Use primer and GapmeR sequences to design experiments for perturbing ALT lncRNA expression and validating splicing changes.
• Correlate specific splicing factor identifiers (e.g., U2AF2, PTBP1) with host gene splicing alterations observed during viral lytic replication.

Strengths

• Dataset is derived from a peer-reviewed study using RNA antisense purification and quantitative mass spectrometry (RAP-MS).
• Identifies a specific set of 54 interacting proteins, including 48 splicing factors.

Limitations

• Extremely small dataset at 10.3 KB, indicating limited scope, likely containing only primer/GapmeR sequences and target identifiers.
• No sample data or column descriptions are available, obscuring the exact data structure and features.
