Recombinant Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) RL13 Binds Human Immunoglobulin G Fc
The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) protein RL13 has recently been described to be present in all primary isolates but rapidly mutated in culture adapted viruses. Although these data suggest a crucial role for this gene product in HCMV primary infection, no function has so far been assigned to this protein. Working with RL13 expressed in isolation in transfected human epithelial cells, we demonstr...
متن کاملMurine cytomegalovirus m41 open reading frame encodes a Golgi-localized antiapoptotic protein.
Viruses have evolved various strategies to prevent premature apoptosis of infected host cells. Some of the viral genes mediating antiapoptotic functions have been identified by their homology to cellular genes, but others are structurally unrelated to genes of known function. In this study, we used a random, unbiased approach to identify such genes in the murine cytomegalovirus genome. From a l...
متن کاملOpen reading frame UL26 of human cytomegalovirus encodes a novel tegument protein that contains a strong transcriptional activation domain.
A selection strategy, the activator trap, was used in order to identify genes of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) that encode strong transcriptional activation domains in mammalian cells. This approach is based on the isolation of activation domains from a GAL4 fusion library by means of selective plasmid replication, which is mediated in transfected cells by a GAL4-inducible T antigen gene. With t...
متن کاملThe human cytomegalovirus Fc receptor gp68 binds the Fc CH2-CH3 interface of immunoglobulin G.
Recognition of immunoglobulin G (IgG) by surface receptors for the Fc domain of immunoglobulin G (Fcgamma), FcgammaRs, can trigger both humoral and cellular immune responses. Two human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-encoded type I transmembrane receptors with Fcgamma-binding properties (vFcgammaRs), gp34 and gp68, have been identified on the surface of HCMV-infected cells and are assumed to confer prot...
متن کاملVaricella-zoster virus open reading frame 4 encodes an immediate-early protein with posttranscriptional regulatory properties.
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) encodes four putative immediate-early proteins based on sequence homology with herpes simplex virus type 1: the products of ORF4, -61, -62, and -63. Until now, only two VZV proteins have been described as being truly expressed with immediate-early kinetics (IE62 and IE63). The ORF4-encoded protein can stimulate gene expression either alone or in synergy with the maj...
