Abstract excerpt
Latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) of the Epstein-Barr virus is a constitutively activated analog of the tumor necrosis factor receptor TNF-R1. LMP1 serves as a viral oncogene able to transform human B-lymphocytes and rodent fibroblasts via activation of numerous cellular signal cascades. Two specific motifs within LMP1 are responsible for interaction of this viral protein with the receptor protein beta-TrCP/HOS...
