Characterization of the major nuclear localization signal of the Borna disease virus phosphoprotein.
Borna disease virus (BDV) replicates and transcribes its negative-sense RNA genome in the nucleus. The BDV phosphoprotein (P) is localized in the nucleus of infected cells and cells transfected with P expression constructs. To identify the nuclear localization signal (NLS) of P, COS-7 cells were transfected with wild-type or mutant forms of P fused with green fluorescent protein (GFP). Whereas ...
متن کاملExpression and characterization of the Borna disease virus polymerase.
Borna disease virus is the prototype of a new family, Bornaviridae, within the order Mononegavirales, that is characterized by nuclear transcription, splicing, low level replication, and neurotropism. The products of five open reading frames predicted from the genomic sequence have been confirmed; however, expression of the sixth, corresponding to the putative viral polymerase (L), has not been...
متن کاملBorna Disease Virus Phosphoprotein Impairs the Developmental Program Controlling Neurogenesis and Reduces Human GABAergic Neurogenesis
It is well established that persistent viral infection may impair cellular function of specialized cells without overt damage. This concept, when applied to neurotropic viruses, may help to understand certain neurologic and neuropsychiatric diseases. Borna disease virus (BDV) is an excellent example of a persistent virus that targets the brain, impairs neural functions without cell lysis, and u...
متن کاملNeuropsychiatric - like disorders in transgenic mice expressing Borna disease virus phosphoprotein in the CNS
Neurobehavioral disorder is a serious consequence of a number of viral infections in the central nervous system (CNS). A line of evidence has demonstrated that viral infections are associated with disturbances in neural functions that may be caused by alteration of the brain homeostasis. Here, we examined the role of viral persistent infection in neuropsychiatric disorders by generating a trans...
متن کاملGlial expression of Borna disease virus phosphoprotein induces behavioral and neurological abnormalities in transgenic mice.
One hypothesis for the etiology of behavioral disorders is that infection by a virus induces neuronal cell dysfunctions resulting in a wide range of behavioral abnormalities. However, a direct linkage between viral infections and neurobehavioral disturbances associated with human psychiatric disorders has not been identified. Here, we show that transgenic mice expressing the phosphoprotein (P) ...
