An Epstein-Barr virus-encoded snoRNA directs 2′-O-methylation of human rRNAs to control translation and the viral lytic switch

Summary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) establishes life-long latency in human B-cells yet the molecular strategies that balance its persistence with lytic replication remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify the EBV-encoded small nucleolar RNA, v-snoRNA1, as a bona fide 2′-O-m...
