Target intelligence / Profile preview

EBV nuclear antigen 3C (EBNA3C)

Target
EBNA3C
Molecular classification
Viral oncoprotein, Transcription factor, Transcriptional coregulator, Epigenetic regulator
01

Overview

Other names
EBNA-3CEBNA6EBNA-6Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 3CBERF3/BERF4EBNA3C latent protein
02

Mechanism of action

Inhibition of transcriptional repression by blocking recruitment of histone deacetylases (HDACs); disruption of protein-protein interactions with host factors like RBP-Jκ or CtBP; induction of proteasomal degradation of the viral oncoprotein.
