The Epstein-Barr virus transforming protein LMP1 engages signaling proteins for the tumor necrosis factor receptor family
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cytoplasmic C-terminus of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent infection membrane protein 1 (LMP1) is essential for B lymphocyte growth transformation and is now shown to interact with a novel human protein (LMP1-associated protein 1 [LAP1]). LAP1 is homologous to a murine protein, tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2), implicated in growth signaling from the p80 TNFR. A second novel protein (EBI6), induced by EBV infection, is the human homolog of a second murine TNFR-associated protein (TRAF1). LMP1 expression causes LAP1 and EBI6 to localize to LMP1 clusters in lymphoblast plasma membranes, and LMP1 coimmunoprecipitates with these proteins. LAP1 binds to the p80 TNFR, CD40, and the lymphotoxin-beta receptor, while EBI6 associates with the p80 TNFR. The interaction of LMP1 with these TNFR family-associated proteins is further evidence for their role in signaling and links LMP1-mediated transformation to signal transduction from the TNFR family.

The Viral Oncoprotein LMP1 Exploits TRADD for Signaling by Masking Its Apoptotic Activity
The tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-receptor 1-associated death domain protein (TRADD) mediates induction of apoptosis as well as activation of NF-kappaB by cellular TNF-receptor 1 (TNFR1). TRADD is also recruited by the latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) oncoprotein of Epstein-Barr virus, but its role in LMP1 signaling has remained enigmatic. In human B lymphocytes, we have generated, to our knowled...

Latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) plays a critical role in B cell transformation by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and appears to mimic a constitutively active CD40 receptor. Intracellular tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor (TRAF) adapter proteins, shown to contribute to signaling by both CD40 and LMP1, were recruited by both molecules to lipid-enriched membrane rafts. However, we ...
متن کاملLMP1 signal transduction differs substantially from TNF receptor 1 signaling in the molecular functions of TRADD and TRAF2.
The Epstein-Barr virus latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) binds tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)-associated factors (TRAFs) and the TNFR-associated death domain protein (TRADD). Moreover, it induces NF-kappaB and the c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK1) pathway. Thus, LMP1 appears to mimick the molecular functions of TNFR1. However, TNFR1 elicits a wide range of cellular responses including apop...

The Epstein–Barr virus latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) is essential for the transformation of B lymphocytes into lymphoblastoid cell lines. Previous data are consistent with a model that LMP1 is a constitutively activated receptor that transduces signals for transformation through its carboxylterminal cytoplasmic tail. One transformation effector site (TES1), located within the membrane proxim...
متن کاملEpstein–Barr virus: LMP1 masquerades as an active receptor
The Epstein-Barr virus protein LMP1 is essential for transformation of resting B cells by the virus, but how it works is unclear. Recent results suggest that LMP1 acts as a constitutively active receptor that shares certain characteristics with members of the tumour necrosis factor receptor superfamily.
