Abstract excerpt
Latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) is the primary oncoprotein of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and plays versatile roles in the EBV life cycle and pathogenesis. Despite decades of extensive research, the molecular basis for LMP1 folding, assembly, and activation remains unclear. Here, we report cryo-electron microscopy structures of LMP1 in two unexpected assemblies: a symmetric homodimer and a higher-order filamentous...
