Journal of virology, 1995•Am Soc MicrobiolThis study demonstrates that the Epstein-Barr virus protein LMP1 activates a specific subset
of NF-kappa B/Rel proteins in the C33 epithelial cell line. Western immunoblot analysis used
to analyze the intracellular distribution and abundance of the proteins present in these
complexes demonstrated that levels of the p50 and p52 proteins were significantly elevated
in the nuclei of LMP1-expressing cells. The data also suggest that LMP1 facilitates the
translocation of p50 to the nucleus and may affect the processing of the p100 and p105 …

The data also suggest that LMP1 facilitates the translocation of p50 to the nucleus and may affect the processing of the p100 and p105 precursor proteins or the stability of p52 and p50.
