Mitotic chromosome interactions of Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) and human EBNA1-binding protein 2 (EBP2)
4 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
The Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) protein enables the stable persistence of Epstein-Barr virus episomal genomes during latent infection, in part by tethering the episomes to the cellular chromosomes in mitosis. A host nucleolar protein, EBNA1-binding protein 2 (EBP2), has been shown to be important for interactions between EBNA1 and chromosomes in metaphase and to associate with metaphase chromosomes....
