Direct Repeat 6 from Human Herpesvirus-6B Encodes a Nuclear Protein that Forms a Complex with the Viral DNA Processivity Factor p41
The SalI-L fragment from human herpesvirus 6A (HHV-6A) encodes a protein DR7 that has been reported to produce fibrosarcomas when injected into nude mice, to transform NIH3T3 cells, and to interact with and inhibit the function of p53. The homologous gene in HHV-6B is dr6. Since p53 is deregulated in both HHV-6A and -6B, we characterized the expression of dr6 mRNA and the localization of the tr...
متن کاملCharacterization of human herpesvirus 8 ORF59 protein (PF-8) and mapping of the processivity and viral DNA polymerase-interacting domains.
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) or Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) ORF59 protein (PF-8) is a processivity factor for HHV-8 DNA polymerase (Pol-8) and is homologous to processivity factors expressed by other herpesviruses, such as herpes simplex virus type 1 UL42 and Epstein-Barr virus BMRF1. The interaction of UL42 and BMRF1 with their corresponding DNA polymerases is essential for v...
متن کاملCrystal Structure of Human Herpesvirus 6B Tegument Protein U14
The tegument protein U14 of human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B) constitutes the viral virion structure and is essential for viral growth. To define the characteristics and functions of U14, we determined the crystal structure of the N-terminal domain of HHV-6B U14 (U14-NTD) at 1.85 Å resolution. U14-NTD forms an elongated helix-rich fold with a protruding β hairpin. U14-NTD exists as a dimer exhibiti...
متن کاملA repeat sequence, GGGTTA, is shared by DNA of human herpesvirus 6 and Marek's disease virus.
Some regions of the genomes of human B-lymphotrophic virus (HBLV), also designated as human herpesvirus 6, and Marek's disease virus were found to hybridize to each other under moderate to stringent conditions, scoring from 10 to 30% base-pair mismatch. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed that a 6-base-pair repetitive sequence, GGGTTA (DR2), present in the IRS-IRL junction region of the Marek's...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of a cDNA derived from multiple splicing that encodes envelope glycoprotein gp105 of human herpesvirus 6.
The glycoprotein complex gp82-gp105 is a major virion envelope glycoprotein complex of human herpesvirus 6 variant A (HHV-6A) and consists of a number of related polypeptides. Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) 2D4, 2D6, and 13D6 against this glycoprotein complex neutralized HHV-6A infectivity. We have previously reported the isolation, mapping, and characterization of a portion of the viral genomic ...
