Figure 1

Schematic representation of the gene organization in the BK virus (BKV) genome. The double circle represents the double stranded DNA genomes. The genome is divided into three regions. The early region encodes three regulatory proteins (Agt, AgT, T'). The late region specifies four structural proteins and agnoprotein (VP1, VP2, VP3, VPx). The non-coding control region contains the elements for the control of viral DNA replication (ori) and viral gene expression. The arrows indicate the positive and negative strands according to the direction of viral transcription (24).
