|
|
|
|
|
||
| UniProt code: Q3KSS8. |
|
||
| Organism: | |
Epstein-Barr virus (strain GD1) (HHV-4) (Human herpesvirus 4). |
| Taxonomy: | |
Viruses; Duplodnaviria; Heunggongvirae; Peploviricota; Herviviricetes; Herpesvirales; Herpesviridae; Gammaherpesvirinae; Lymphocryptovirus. |
|
||
|
||
| Function: | |
Plays a key role in the switch from latent infection to lytic cycle producing new virions. Acts as a transcription factor, inducing early lytic cycle genes, and as a origin binding protein for genome replication. BZLF1 activates the promoter of another EBV gene (BSLF2+BMLF1). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P03206}. |
|
||
| Subunit: | |
Homodimer. Interacts with human UBN1, CRTC2 and RACK1. Interacts (via N-terminus) with human PAX5 (via N-terminus); this interaction inhibits BZLF1-mediated lytic viral reactivation. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P03206}. |
| Subcellular location: | |
Host nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P03206}. |
| Similarity: | |
Belongs to the bZIP family. {ECO:0000305}. |
