Two Domains of the Epstein-Barr Virus Origin DNA-binding Protein, EBNA1, Orchestrate Sequence-specific DNA Binding
1 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
The EBNA1 (for Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1) protein of Epstein-Barr virus governs the replication and partitioning of the viral genomes during latent infection by binding to specific recognition sites in the viral origin of DNA replication. The crystal structure of the DNA binding portion of the EBNA1 protein revealed that this region comprises two structural motifs; a core domain, which mediates protein...
