Immunoprecipitation - Anti-EBNA2 antibody [R3] - BSA and Azide free (AB255784)

This data was developed using ab252828 the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

EBNA2 was immunoprecipitated from 0.35 mg Raji (human Burkitt's lymphoma B lymphocyte) whole cell lysate 10ug with ab252828 at 1/30 dilution (2ug in 0.35mg lysates). Western blot was performed on the immunoprecipitate using ab252828 at 1/1000 dilution. Goat Anti-Rat IgG (H+L), HRP) (ab205720) was used at 1/5000 dilution.

Supplementary information

EBNA2 also known as the Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA-2) plays a critical role in viral protein function. It is a transcriptional activator essential for the latent infection cycle of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBNA2 binds to specific DNA sequences and interacts with other host cellular factors to initiate transcription. The molecular mass of EBNA2 typically is approximately 88 kDa. EBNA2 mainly expresses in EBV-infected B lymphocytes where it contributes to their immortalization and proliferation.
Biological function summary

EBNA2 is pivotal in the activation of several viral and cellular genes. It forms complexes with other proteins including the cellular transcription factor RBP-Jκ part of the Notch signaling pathway. This interaction is important for altering the expression patterns of both host and viral genes causing changes in the cell cycle and promoting latency. EBNA2 also regulates genes involved in immune response modulation aiding in viral persistence within the host by evading immune surveillance.

Pathways

EBNA2 impacts transcriptional regulation and cell signaling reversibly. It is integral to the Notch signaling and transcriptional activation pathway related to EBV latency. EBNA2 recruits proteins like CBF1 (RBP-Jκ) a transcription factor that helps mediate cell fate decisions and maintain latency. It modulates pathways involving c-MYC a central regulator of cell growth and influences transcriptional activity with a downstream effect on cellular transformation and proliferation.

EBNA2 is prominently associated with EBV-related malignancies such as Burkitt's lymphoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma. These cancers arise partly from the dysregulated cellular growth induced by EBNA2-mediated transcriptional changes. In these disorders EBNA2 may interact with proteins like LMP1 another EBV-encoded protein that aids in the transformation process promoting oncogenesis and affecting therapy resistance mechanisms.

Target data

Plays a key role in the activation of the host resting B-cell and stimulation of B-cell proliferation. Acts by up-regulating the expression of viral EBNA1-6, LMP1, LMP2A and LMP2B genes, as well as several host genes including CD21, CD23 and MYC. Activates transcription by acting as an adapter molecule that binds to cellular sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins such as host CBF1, SMARCB1 and SPI1. Once EBNA2 is near promoter sites, its acidic activating domain recruits basal and activation-associated transcription factors TFIIB, TAF40, TFIIH components ERCC2 and ERCC3, and CBP in order to promote transcription. Alternatively, EBNA2 can affect activities of cell cycle regulators and retard cell cycle progression at G2/M phase. It also induces chromosomal instability, by disrupting mitotic checkpoints, multi-nucleation and formation of micronuclei in infected cells (By similarity).
