DNA Polymerase in Pseudorabies Virus Infected Cells

Quantitative whole-cell proteome analysis of pseudorabies virus-infected cells.

A quantitative proteome study using the stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture technique was performed on bovine kidney cells after infection with the alphaherpesvirus pseudorabies virus (PrV), the etiological agent of Aujeszky's disease. To enhance yields of proteins to be identified, raw extracts were fractionated by affinity solid-phase extraction with a combination of a ci...

Characterization of DNA Polymerase Activity in Trichoplusia ni Cells Infected with Autographa californica Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus

Nuclei isolated from Trichoplusia ni cells (TN-368) infected with Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) were used to study the replication of viral DNA. Based on DNA : DNA hybridization data, virus-specific DNA polymerase activity was insensitive to aphidicolin and novobiocin and was inhibited by ddTTP and N-ethylmaleimide. The data indicate that the AcMNPV-specific DNA pol...

Ribonucleic acid polymerase induced in cells infected with Sendai virus.

A ribonucleic acid (RNA)-dependent RNA polymerase was induced in chick embryo fibroblast cells after infection with Sendai virus (parainfluenza 1 virus). The enzyme was associated with the microsomal fraction of infected cells and reached maximum detectable activity at 18 hr after virus infection. The activity of the enzyme in vitro was dependent on the presence of added magnesium ions and all ...

The Pseudorabies Virus DNA Polymerase Accessory Subunit UL42 Directs Nuclear Transport of the Holoenzyme

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) DNA replication occurs in the nuclei of infected cells and requires the viral DNA polymerase. The PRV DNA polymerase comprises a catalytic subunit, UL30, and an accessory subunit, UL42, that confers processivity to the enzyme. Its nuclear localization is a prerequisite for its enzymatic function in the initiation of viral DNA replication. However, the mechanisms by whic...
