Abstract:Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the pathogen of several human malignancies, encodes many proteins that require to be transported into the nucleus for viral DNA reproduction and nucleocapsids assembly in the lytic replication cycle. A nuclear membrane phosphoprotein encoded by EBV BLLF2, is believed to associate with viral DNA packaging and primary egress across the nuclear membrane. Results: Here, fluorescence microscope, mutation analysis, interspecies heterokaryon assays, co-immunoprecipitation assays … Show more
