ORF73 protein of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is a Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) latent protein which has been suspected of playing a crucial role in modulating viral and cellular gene expression. ORF73 is associated with cellular chromatin and stays on the chromosomes during cell division. It maintains the viral genomes during cell division by tethering the viral episomes to the chromosomes. It binds directly to replication origin recognition complexes (ORCs) that are primarily associated with the terminal repeat (TR) region of the HHV-8 genome.Synonyms: HHV-8, Human herpesvirus 8 type P ORF73 protein, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus encoded protein ORF73, LANA-1, LNA, LNA1, ORF-73
