Latent membrane protein 2B (LMP2B) is expressed during latent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, but little is known about its role. The goal of this study was to determine whether an LMP2B homologue is conserved in the rhesus monkey lymphocryptovirus (LCV). Both rhesus LCV LMP2A and LMP2B genes were cloned and sequenced. The rhesus LCV LMP2B gene is positionally conserved, and the EBNA-2 responsiveness and the bidirectional nature of the LMP1-LMP2B promoter have also been functionally conserved. However, this region of the genome encoding the LMP1, LMP1-LMP2B promoter, and LMP2B first exon demonstrates the most dramatic nucleotide sequence divergence between human and nonhuman LCV observed to date. Evolution of the rhesus LCV LMP2B promoter and transcript despite the dynamic nature of this genomic region reflects strong selective pressure for a yet-to-be-identified LMP2B function.
