Abstract

A yeast two-hybrid screen using EBNA3C as bait revealed an interaction between this Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)-encoded nuclear protein and the C8 (7) subunit of the human 20S proteasome. The interaction was confirmed by glutathione -transferase (GST) pull-down experiments and these also revealed that the related proteins EBNA3A and EBNA3B can bind similarly to C8/7. The interaction between these viral proteins and GST–C8/7 was shown to be significantly more robust than the previously reported interaction between C8/7 and the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21. Co-immunoprecipitation of the EBNA3 proteins with C8/7 was also demonstrated after transfection of expression vectors into B cells. Consistent with this ability to bind directly to an -subunit of the 20S proteasome, EBNAs 3A, 3B and 3C were all degraded by purified 20S proteasomes. However, surprisingly, no sign of proteasome-mediated turnover of these latent viral proteins in EBV-immortalized B cells could be detected, even in the presence of gamma interferon. In actively proliferating lymphoblastoid cell lines, EBNAs 3A, 3B and 3C appear to be remarkably stable, with no evidence of either de novo synthesis or proteasome-mediated degradation.
