LMP-1, the Epstein-Barr virus latent membrane protein 1, is the only protein encoded by the virus that has been shown to have the properties of a transforming oncogene in rodent fibroblasts such as Rat-1 cells. LMP-1 is phosphorylated and proteolytically cleaved in Rat-1 cells in a manner similar to that seen in human lymphocytes. In this study, we demonstrate that all three major domains of LMP-1 (N-terminal,...
