Epstein-Barr Virus mRNA Export Factor EB2 Is Essential for Production of Infectious Virus
3 Sept 2002
Abstract excerpt
The splicing machinery which positions a protein export complex near the exon-exon junction mediates nuclear export of mRNAs generated from intron-containing genes. Many Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) early and late genes are intronless, and an alternative pathway, independent of splicing, must export the corresponding mRNAs. Since the EBV EB2 protein induces the cytoplasmic accumulation of intronless mRNA, it is...
