Title
|
Amino acids in the basic domain of Epstein-Barr virus ZEBRA protein play distinct roles in DNA binding, activation of early lytic gene expression, and promotion of viral DNA replication. |

Evidence
|
A single acidic substitution at any one of the 9 basic amino acids destroyed DNA binding and the capacity of the mutant ZEBRA protein to activate lytic gene expression. Conservative substitutions in basic residues in three mutants, the R183K, R187K, and K188R proteins, did not affect DNA binding.
