Abstract 

Epstein–Barr virus latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) activates NF-κB signaling pathways through two C-terminal regions, CTAR1 and CTAR2. Previous studies have demonstrated that BS69, a multidomain cellular protein, regulates LMP1/CTAR2-mediated NF-κB activation by interfering with the complex formation between TRADD and LMP1/CTAR2. Here, we found that BS69 directly interacted with the LMP1/CTAR1 domain and regulated LMP1/CTAR1-mediated NF-κB activation and subsequent IL-6 production. Regarding the mechanisms involved, we found that BS69 directly interacted with TRAF3, a negative regulator of NF-κB activation. Furthermore, small-interfering RNA-mediated knockdown experiments revealed that TRAF3 was involved in the BS69-mediated suppression of LMP1/CTAR1-induced NF-κB activation.
