== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/BZLF1_EBVB9 BZLF1_EBVB9] Plays a key role in the switch from latent infection to lytic cycle producing new virions. Acts as a transcription factor, inducing early lytic cycle genes, and as a origin binding protein for genome replication. BZLF1 activates the promoter of another EBV gene (BSLF2+BMLF1).<ref>PMID:2157874</ref> <ref>PMID:1847997</ref> <ref>PMID:8404860</ref> <ref>PMID:17079287</ref> <ref>PMID:19144704</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
While the Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I (MHC-I) molecules typically bind short peptide (p) fragments (8-10 amino acids in length), longer, bulged, peptides are often be presented by MHC-I. Such bulged pMHC-I complexes represent challenges for T-cell receptor (TCR) ligation, although the general principles underscoring the interaction between TCRs and bulged pMHC-I complexes are unclear. To address this, we have explored the energetic basis of how an immunodominant TCR (termed SB27) binds to a 13 amino acid viral peptide (LPEPLPQGQLTAY) complexed to Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) B*3508. Using the crystal structure of the SB27 TCR-HLA B*3508LPEP complex as a guide, we undertook a comprehensive alanine-scanning mutagenesis approach at the TCR-pMHC-I interface and examined the effect of the mutations by biophysical (affinity measurements) and cellular approaches (tetramer staining). While the structural footprint on the HLA B*3508 was small, the energetic footprint was even smaller in that only two HLA B*3508 residues were critical for the TCR interaction. Instead, the energetic basis of this TCR-pMHC-I interaction was attributed to peptide-mediated interactions in which the complementarity determining region (CDR) 3alpha and germline encoded CDR1beta loops of the SB27 TCR played the principal role. Our findings highlight the peptide-centricity of TCR ligation towards a bulged pMHC-I complex.
