Activated Notch1 Can Transiently Substitute for EBNA2 in the Maintenance of Proliferation of LMP1-Expressing Immortalized B Cells
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA2) and latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) are essential for immortalization of human B cells by EBV. EBNA2 and activated Notch transactivate genes by interacting with the cellular transcription factor RBP-Jkappa/CBF1. Therefore, EBNA2 can be regarded as a functional homologue of activated Notch. We have shown previously that the intracellular domain of Notch1...
