Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) oriP and the EBV nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA-1) protein allow persistence of EBV-based episomes. A nuclear matrix attachment region (MAR) spans oriP and the adjacent region of the EBV genome containing the EBV-expressed RNAs. Here, we show that episomes with the MAR are retained significantly more efficiently in EBV-positive B cells than episomes containing oriP alone.
爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)的 oriP 和 EBV 核抗原 1(EBNA-1)蛋白可使基于 EBV 的附加体持续存在。一个核基质附着区域(MAR)跨越 oriP 和 EBV 基因组中包含 EBV 表达 RNA 的相邻区域。在此,我们表明,与仅含有 oriP 的附加体相比,带有 MAR 的附加体在 EBV 阳性 B 细胞中的保留效率显著更高。
