Epstein–Barr virus nuclear antigen 3

The Epstein–Barr virus nuclear antigen 3 (EBNA-3) is a family of viral proteins associated with the Epstein–Barr virus.

  • EBNA-3A
  • EBNA-3B
  • EBNA-3C

These genes also bind the host RBP-Jκ protein.

EBNA-3C can recruit a ubiquitin ligase and has been shown to target cell-cycle regulators such as retinoblastoma protein (pRb).[1][2]
