Previous genetic and biochemical analyses have indicated that the Epstein-Barr virus EBNA-2 amino terminus is important for primary B-lymphocyte growth transformation and may be involved in self-association. We now report that EBNA-2 has at least two domains, amino acids 1 to 60 and 96 to 210, which independently mediate homotypic association, 1 to 60 with 1 to 60 and 96 to 210 with 96 to 210. EBNA-2 self-association is likely to be critical to the ability of EBNA-2 to interact simultaneously with multiple cellular transcription factors, coactivators, and histone acetyltransferases through its RBPJkappa binding and acidic activating domains.
