The intact terminal protein genes (TP1 and TP2) of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are created upon infection by circularization of the linear viral genome at its terminal repeats. The structure of the 1 7 kb TP2 latent mRNA has been determined by cDNA analysis and Northern blotting, revealing its close relation to TP1 MRNA. The  1 7 kb transcript is expressed from a different promoter and has a different 5´exon from TP1 but is also spliced across the terminal repeats. The last eight exons are common to the TP1 and TP2 RNAs. The TP2 promoter is 3 3 kb downstream of the TP1 promoter and  is part of a bidirectional latent EBV promoter region transcribing the TP2 and the latent membrane protein RNAs in opposite directions.
