Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a herpes virus associated with several human tumors. The EBV protein, ZEBRA, is a transactivator of the basic leucine zipper family (bZip). It binds to specific sequences on DNA and is able to interact with cellular proteins such as p53. The interaction of the ZEBRA protein with its cognate DNA sequences is stable as long as the dimerization domain is functional. Recent work from this...
