Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) activates NF-kappaB and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), which is essential for LMP1 oncogenic activity. Genetic analysis has revealed that tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) is an indispensable intermediate of LMP1 signaling leading to activation of both NF-kappaB and JNK. However, the mechanism by which LMP1 engages TRAF6 for activation...
