    Abstract: Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), like other DNA tumor viruses, induces an S-phase in the natural host cell, the human B lymphocyte. This is linked with blast transformation. It is believed that the EBV-encoded nuclear antigen 6 (EBNA-6) is involved in the regulation of cell cycle entry. However, the possible mechanism of this regulation is not approached. In our current study, we found that EBNA-6 binds to a MRPS18-2 protein, and targets it to the nucleus. We found that MRPS18-2 binds to both hypo- and hyperphosphorylated forms of Rb protein specifically. This binding targets the small pocket of pRb, which is a site of interaction with E2F1. The MRPS18-2 competes with the binding of E2F1 to pRb, thereby raising the level of free E2F1. Our experimental data suggest that EBNA-6 may play a major role in the entry of EBV infected B cells into the S phase by binding to and raising the level of nuclear MRPS18-2, protein. This would inhibit pRb binding to E2F1 competitively and lift the block preventing S-phase entry.

    Abstract: We report that the overexpression of mitochondrial ribosomal protein MRPS18–2 (S18–2) can immortalize primary rat embryonic fibroblasts (REFs). The immortalized cells (18IM) lose contact inhibition, form foci, and are capable of anchorage-independent growth. Concurrently, mesodermal markers, such as vimentin, smooth muscle actin, and Fut4, disappear completely. 18IM cells express embryonic stem cell markers, such as SSEA-1, Sox2, and Oct3/4. In confluent cultures, a portion of cells also express ectoderm- and endoderm-specific pan-keratin, ectoderm-specific beta-III-tubulin, mesoderm-specific MHC class II, and become stainable for fat with Oil red O. None of these changes was detected in c-myc+Ha-ras (MR)-transformed cells. In immunodeficient mice, 18IM cells formed small transiently growing tumors that have down-regulated SSEA-1 and showed pan-keratin staining. We conclude that S18–2 can immortalize REFs and induces them to express stem cell traits.
