Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear protein 2 (EBNA-2) is essential for B-lymphocyte growth transformation. EBNA-2 transactivates expression of the EBV latent membrane protein (LMP-1) and also transactivates expression of the B-lymphocyte proteins CD21 and CD23. In order to analyze the functional domains of EBNA-2, we constructed 11 linker-insertion and 15 deletion mutations. Each of the mutant EBNA-2 proteins...
