background:
Epstein Barr virus (EBV) is a member of the herpesvirus family and one of the most common human viruses. Most people become infected with EBV during their lives. Primary infections usually results in infectious mononucleosis (glandular fever) but the virus can also lay dormant in B lymphocytes and when reactivated become associated with more serious disease such as Burkitt's lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and Hodgkin's disease. EBV latently infects B lymphocytes. Infected B cells express EBV nuclear antigens and latent proteins LMP1, LMP2A and LMP2B. LMP2A forms aggregates in the plasma membranes of B lymphocytes, where it functions as a negative regulator of the Src and Syk protein tyrosine kinases. Studies show that LMP2A blocks B-cell receptor (BCR) signal transduction in EBV immortalized B cells in vitro and may play an important role in maintaining a latent EBV infection within the peripheral blood B cells of infected individuals.

Function:
Isoform LMP2A maintains EBV latent infection of B-lymphocyte, by preventing lytic reactivation of the virus in response to surface immunoglobulin (sIg) cross-linking. Acts like a dominant negative inhibitor of the sIg-associated protein tyrosine kinases, LYN and SYK. Also blocks translocation of the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) into lipid rafts, preventing the subsequent signaling and accelerated internalization of the BCR upon BCR cross-linking. Serves as a molecular scaffold to recruit SYK, LYN and E3 protein-ubiquitin ligases, such as ITCH and NEDD4L, leading to ubiquitination and potential degradation of both tyrosines kinases. Possesses a constitutive signaling activity in non-transformed cells, inducing bypass of normal B lymphocyte developmental checkpoints allowing immunoglobulin-negative cells to colonize peripheral lymphoid organs.
Isoform LMP2B may be a negative regulator of isoform LMP2A.

Subunit:
Isoform LMP2A cytoplasmic N-terminal domain interacts with human SRC family protein tyrosine kinases SYK and LYN. Binds human ITCH, WWP2 and NEDD4L.

Subcellular Location:
Isoform LMP2A: Host cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Isoform LMP2A is localized in plasma membrane lipid rafts.
Isoform LMP2B: Host endomembrane system; Multi-pass membrane protein. Host cytoplasm, host perinuclear region. Note=Isoform LMP2B localizes to perinuclear regions.

Post-translational modifications:
Can be ubiquitinated by human ITCH and WWP2 on the N-terminus in a lysine-independent manner.

Similarity:
Belongs to the herpesviridae LMP-2 family.
