                                  "This suggests that USP7 inhibition impairs the half‐life of EBNA1 and the effects of USP7 inhibitors are likely to affect EBNA1 protein stability.To confirm that the observations were not a product of off‐target effects by the inhbitors, we performed siRNA knockdown specifically against USP7 in EBV   gastric cell line YCCEL1."

                                  "However we have also shown that USP7 can stimulate the assembly of EBNA1 on oriP elements in transfected plasmids suggesting that USP7 might play a role in the initial association of EBNA1 with these elements upon initial EBV infection, and/or during the switch from the EBV latency form in nonproliferating cells, in which EBNA1 is not expressed, to latency forms in proliferating cells in which EBNA1 is expressed and bound to oriP."
