Mapping of the gene coding for Epstein-Barr virus-determined nuclear antigen EBNA3 and its transient overexpression in a human cell line by using an adenovirus expression vector

Abstract

The open reading frame which lies within the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) T2 cDNA isolated by Bodescot et al. (M. Bodescot, O. Brison, and M. Perricaudet, Nucleic Acids Res. 14:2611-2620, 1986) was inserted into a eucaryotic expression vector containing a strong adenovirus promoter. The T2 cDNA contains viral genomic sequences from the short BLRF3 open reading frame fused to the adjacent BERF1 long open reading frame. After transfection of human cells, the recombinant plasmid directed the expression of a 140-kilodalton protein. The expressed protein had the same molecular weight, subcellular localization, and immunological characteristics as the EBV-determined nuclear antigen EBNA3, which is made in lymphocytes latently infected with EBV. Immunoprecipitation of extracts of transfected cells labeled with [32P]phosphoric acid showed that the EBNA3 protein is phosphorylated.
