Identification and Characterization of CCAAT Enhancer-binding Protein (C/EBP) as a Transcriptional Activator for Epstein-Barr Virus Oncogene Latent Membrane Protein 1

Abstract excerpt

Epstein-Barr virus LMP1, a major oncoprotein expressed in latent infection, is critical for primary B cell transformation, functioning as a TNFR family member by aggregation in the plasma membrane resulting in constitutive activation of cellular signals, such as NF-κB, MAPK, JAK/STAT, and AKT. Although transcription of LMP1 in latent type III cells is generally under the control of the viral coactivator EBNA2,...
