RESUMO

The cellular localization of the Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RK-BARF0 protein was analyzed by fluorescence microscopy and immunoblotting. The recombinant RK-BARF0 protein was found to be tightly bound to nuclear structures, whereas 16- to 20-kDa RK-BARF0 derivatives, generated by differential splicing of the RK-BARF0 transcript, were present throughout the cell. Moreover, a previously generated anti-RK-BARF0 rabbit serum was found to cross-react with cellular proteins, showing that the previously identified 30- to 35-kDa membrane-associated proteins do not represent RK-BARF0.
