Abstract excerpt
The latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) of the Epstein-Barr virus is a constitutively active receptor essential for B lymphocyte transformation by the Epstein-Barr virus. It is a short-lived protein, but the proteolytic pathway involved in its degradation is not known. The ubiquitin pathway is a major system for specific protein degradation in eukaryotes. Most plasma membrane substrates of the pathway are...
