STRUCTURE OF THE EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS ONCOGENE BARF1
Overview
The Epstein-Barr virus is a human gamma-herpesvirus that persistently, infects more than 90% of the human population. It is associated with, numerous epithelial cancers, principally undifferentiated nasopharyngeal, carcinoma and gastric carcinoma. The BARF1 gene is expressed in a high, proportion of these cancers. An oncogenic, mitogenic and immortalizing, activity of the BARF1 protein has been shown. We solved the structure of, the secreted BARF1 glycoprotein expressed in a human cell line by X-ray, crystallography at a resolution of 2.3A. The BARF1 protein consists of two, immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains. The N-terminal domain belongs to the, subfamily of variable domains whereas the C-terminal one is related to a, constant Ig-domain. BARF1 shows an unusual hexamerisation involving ...
