abstract = "The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects and transforms primary B cells into lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs). We observed death-associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1) upregulation in B cells following EBV infection and high DAPK1 levels in LCLs. DAPK1 participates in several apoptosis-inducing pathways, yet DAPK1 expression increased during B cell transformation. Data from LMP1 overexpression in LCLs and HeLa cells and from knocked down LMP1 in LCLs suggest LMP1 regulation of DAPK1 expression. We observed NF-ΚB signaling in DAPK1 upregulation by LMP1 with CTAR deletion mutants failing to induce DAPK1 expression and with Bay11 blocking DAPK1 expression. DAPK1 is inactive in LCLs due to insufficient stimuli, and is not regulated by Ser308 phosphorylation. However, DAPK1 in LCLs is functional, as evidenced by its quick mediation of cell death following UV or H2O2 exposure, and increased survival among LCLs knocked down with DAPK. DAPK roles in EBV-infected B cells remain to be identified.",
