Abstract
We identified one of the products encoded by P3HR-1 defective DNA as a 45/60 kd family of polypeptides which mapped to the BMLF1/BSLF2 open reading frames. We termed this product MS-EA. In transient expression assays, both wild-type and defective DNA encoded MS-EA were found to activate expression from a variety of promoter-CAT constructs. Thus MS-EA has the properties of a generalized trans-activator.
