To test whether BPLF1 may regulate the expression of other viral proteins, western blots of induced LCLwt/mut were probed with a panel of available antibodies specific for LMP1, a truncated version of which is selectively upregulated during productive infection and is required for efficient virus release71, the early proteins BMRF1 that encodes the viral DNA processivity factor, BXLF1 encoding the viral thymidine kinase, and BGLF5 encoding the viral alkaline exonuclease, and the late protein BdRF1 encoding the p40 subunit of the viral capsid antigen (VCA). The gene discussed is PDLIM7; the disease is infection.
