Modulation of the Cell Growth Regulator mTOR by Epstein-Barr Virus-Encoded LMP2A
12 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
Control of translation initiation is one means by which cells regulate growth and proliferation, with components of the protein-synthesizing machinery having oncogenic potential. Expression of latency protein LMP2A by the human tumor virus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) activates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt located upstream of an essential mediator of growth signals, mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin). We show...
