The Epstein–Barr virus LMP1 amino acid sequence that engages tumor necrosis factor receptor associated factors is critical for primary B lymphocyte growth transformation

Abstract excerpt

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) is essential for transforming primary B lymphocytes into lymphoblastoid cell lines. EBV recombinants with LMP1 genes truncated after the proximal 45 codons of the LMP1 carboxyl terminus are adequate for transformation. The proximal 45 residues include a domain that engages the tumor necrosis factor receptor associated factors (TRAFs). We investigated the...
