Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) EBNA-1 is the only EBV-encoded protein that is essential for the once-per-cell-cycle replication and maintenance of EBV plasmids in latently infected cells. EBNA-1 binds to the oriP region of latent EBV plasmids and cellular metaphase chromosomes. In the absence of oriP-containing plasmids, EBNA-1 was highly colocalized with cellular DNA replication foci that were identified by immunostaining S-phase cells for proliferating cell nuclear antigen and replication protein A (RP-A) in combination with DNA short pulse-labeling. For the association of EBNA-1 with the cellular replication focus areas, the EBNA-1 regions of amino acids (aa) 8 to 94 and/or aa 315 to 410, but not the RP-A-interacting carboxy-terminal region, were necessary. These results suggest a new aspect of latent virus-cell interactions.
爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)的EBNA-1是唯一一种对潜伏感染细胞中EBV质粒的每细胞周期一次复制和维持必不可少的EBV编码蛋白。EBNA-1与潜伏EBV质粒的oriP区域和细胞中期染色体结合。在没有含oriP质粒的情况下,EBNA-1与细胞DNA复制焦点高度共定位,这些焦点是通过对S期细胞进行免疫染色以检测增殖细胞核抗原和复制蛋白A(RP-A)并结合DNA短脉冲标记来确定的。对于EBNA-1与细胞复制焦点区域的关联,氨基酸(aa)8至94和/或aa 315至410的EBNA-1区域是必需的,但与RP-A相互作用的羧基末端区域不是必需的。这些结果提示了潜伏病毒与细胞相互作用的一个新方面。
