EBNA-5, an Epstein-Barr virus-encoded nuclear antigen, binds to the retinoblastoma and p53 proteins.
15 Jun 1993
Abstract excerpt
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) immortalized human lymphoblastoid cell lines express six virally encoded nuclear proteins, designated EBV nuclear antigens 1-6 (EBNA-1-6). We show that the EBNA-5 protein (alternatively designated EBNA-LP) that is required for B-cell transformation can form a molecular complex with the retinoblastoma (RB) and p53 tumor suppressor proteins. Using EBNA-5 deletion mutants, we have found that...
