Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA-2) plays a crucial role in B cell immortalization by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), most probably by its ability to transactivate several cellular and viral genes. Recently, we showed that EBNA-2 interacts with the TP1 promoter of EBV through a cellular protein. In this report we provide evidence that this protein is recombination signal binding protein (RBP)-J kappa, highly...
