Abstract

The gene encoding latent-infection membrane protein 1 (LMP1) was specifically mutated in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) recombinants by inserting a nonsense linker after codon 9 or codon 84 or into an intron 186 bp 3' to the latter insertion site. EBV recombinants with the LMP1 intron mutation were wild type for LMP1 expression and for growth transformation of primary B lymphocytes. In contrast, EBV recombinants with the mutations in the LMP1 open reading frame expressed N-terminally truncated crossreactive proteins and could initiate or maintain primary B-lymphocyte transformation only when wild-type LMP1 was provided in trans by a coinfecting, transformation-defective EBV, P3HR-1. These data indicate that LMP1 is essential for EBV-mediated transformation of primary B lymphocytes, that the first 43 amino acids are critical for LMP1's function, and that codon 44-initiated LMP1 does not have a dominant negative effect on transformation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
