Biological function summary
Epstein-Barr Virus impacts multiple cellular processes altering cell cycle regulation and modulating immune responses. EBV expresses latency-associated proteins such as EBNA (Epstein-Barr Nuclear Antigen) and LMP (Latent Membrane Protein) which help maintain its latent state and contribute to cell transformation. These proteins are part of larger complexes that interact with host cellular pathways to secure viral persistence and evade immune detection.
Pathways
The Epstein-Barr Virus impacts cell proliferation and survival pathways. It influences the NF-kB pathway promoting cell survival and proliferation. The virus also interacts with the PI3K-AKT pathway which regulates several cellular functions such as metabolism and cell growth. Through these pathways proteins like TRAF (TNF receptor-associated factor) become involved helping the virus to manipulate host cell functions for its benefit.

General info
Function
The heterodimer glycoprotein H-glycoprotein L is required for the fusion of viral and plasma membranes leading to virus entry into the host cell. Acts as a functional inhibitor of gH and maintains gH in an inhibited form. Upon binding to host integrins, gL dissociates from gH leading to activation of the viral fusion glycoproteins gB and gH. Fusion of EBV with B-lymphocytes requires the additional receptor-binding protein gp42, which forms a complex with gH/gL. The heterodimer gH/gL targets also host EPHA2 to promote viral entry.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the herpesviridae glycoprotein L family.
