It is known that the EBNA-3 family proteins (EBNA-3, -4 and -6, alternative nomenclature EBNA-3A, B and C correspondingly) show a limited sequence similarity. We have analyzed EBNA-3 proteins both at the primary sequence and secondary structure levels. EBNA-3 and EBNA-4 were structurally more similar compared to other combinations with EBNA-6. We found "Stonin Homology Domain" profile in EBNA-4 and "Proline Rich Domain" in all EBNA-3 family of proteins. We have also found positive and negative charge clusters in all three proteins and mixed charge clusters in EBNA-3. Charged clusters are believed to play an important role in interactions with DNA or signaling proteins. Additionally, unique primary sequence repeats were found in all three proteins.

D017433 Protein Structure, Secondary The level of protein structure in which regular hydrogen-bond interactions within contiguous stretches of polypeptide chain give rise to ALPHA-HELICES; BETA-STRANDS (which align to form BETA-SHEETS), or other types of coils. This is the first folding level of protein conformation.

D017434 Protein Structure, Tertiary The level of protein structure in which combinations of secondary protein structures (ALPHA HELICES; BETA SHEETS; loop regions, and AMINO ACID MOTIFS) pack together to form folded shapes. Disulfide bridges between cysteines in two different parts of the polypeptide chain along with other interactions between the chains play a role in the formation and stabilization of tertiary structure.
