Polyadenylated nuclear (PAN) RNA is a long noncoding transcript involved in Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) lytic reactivation and regulation of cellular and viral gene expression. We have previously shown that PAN RNA has dynamic secondary structure and protein binding profiles that can be influenced by epitranscriptomic modifications. -methyladenosine (mA) is one of the most abundant chemical signatures found in viral RNA genomes and virus-encoded RNAs.
