Abstract

Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA-2) plays an essential role in primary B-lymphocyte growth transformation. EBNA-2 is an acidic transcriptional transactivator that is brought to virus and cell EBNA-2 response elements by interaction with a factor that recognizes the double-stranded sequence MNYYGTGGGAA, where M is A or C, N is any nucleotide, and Y is a pyrimidine. A 63-kDa protein that recognizes this DNA sequence has now been purified by S-Sepharose and oligonucleotide affinity chromatography. p63 peptide sequence is identical to the predicted amino acid sequence for the human J kappa immunoglobulin recombination signal binding protein. Purified or recombinant in vitro-translated J kappa binds to the MNYYGTGGGAA EBNA-2 response element sequence and interacts with EBNA-2. Surprisingly, J kappa does not bind to the J kappa 1 heptamer recombination signal sequence (CACTGTG), and its prior identification as a heptamer binding protein was most likely due to the addition of a BamHI restriction site to the native heptamer creating a near EBNA-2 response element consensus (CACTGTGGGAT).

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.
