Epstein-Barr Virus-Encoded Latent Membrane Protein 1 and B-Cell Growth Transformation Induce Lipogenesis through Fatty Acid Synthase

Epstein-Barr virus regulates STAT1 through latent membrane protein 1.

This study shows a mechanism for the increase of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) in Epstein-Barr virus-immortalized cells. Latent membrane protein 1 (LMP-1) expression was sufficient to induce STAT1 expression, DNA binding, and transcriptional activity. LMP-1-expressing cells can induce an increase in STAT1 expression in LMP-negative cells in the same culture, suggest...

Latent membrane protein 1 is critical for efficient growth transformation of human B cells by epstein-barr virus.

The EBV latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) is an integral membrane protein that acts like a constitutively activated receptor. LMP1 interacts with members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor family, as well as with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated death domain, resulting in induction of nuclear factor-kappaB, the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, and the c...

Role of Epstein-Barr virus encoded latent membrane protein 1 in the carcinogenesis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) has been known to have oncogenic properties during latent infection in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Our studies focused on the role of LMP1 in NPC, and showed that LMP1 triggers the NF-kappaB, AP-1 and STAT signaling pathways. Strikingly, LMP1 was found to mediate the formation of a new heterodimer between c-Jun and JunB. Also...
