The BET, or bromodomain extra-terminal domain, is found on bromodomain proteins that play key roles in development, cancer progression and virus-host pathogenesis. It interacts with NSD3, JMJD6, CHD4, GLTSCR1, and ATAD5 all of which are shown to impart a pTEFb-independent transcriptional activation function on the bromodomain proteins [1].

Latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA) is a multifunctional protein that plays a role in the replication and long-term persistence of the viral episomal genome in dividing cells. It binds to mitotic chromosomes via its N-terminal region and to a 16-bp imperfect palindrome within the origin of replication (oriP) located in the viral terminal repeat (TR) through its C-terminal. It also plays a role in the repression of host NF-kappa-B activity upon TNF-alpha stimulation by promoting the proteasomal degradation of host RELA [6]. This entry represents the DNA-binding domain of LANA from murine gammaherpesvirus 68, which is homologous to that of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) [1-6].
