Epstein-Barr virus recombinant molecular genetic analysis of the LMP1 amino-terminal cytoplasmic domain reveals a probable structural role, with no component essential for primary B-lymphocyte growth transformation.

Abstract excerpt

Previous recombinant Epstein-Barr virus molecular genetic experiments with specifically mutated LMP1 genes indicate that LMP1 is essential for primary B-lymphocyte growth transformation and that the amino-terminal cytoplasmic and first transmembrane domains are together an important mediator of transformation. EBV recombinants with specific deletions in the amino-terminal cytoplasmic domain have now been...
