An ATF/CRE Element Mediates both EBNA2-Dependent and EBNA2-Independent Activation of the Epstein-Barr Virus LMP1 Gene Promoter
1 Feb 1998
Abstract excerpt
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) is a viral oncogene whose expression is regulated by both viral and cellular factors. EBV nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA2) is a potent transactivator of LMP1 expression in human B cells, and several EBNA2 response elements have been identified in the promoter regulatory sequence (LRS). We have previously shown that an activating transcription factor/cyclic...
