Tegument proteins of human cytomegalovirus.
SUMMARY Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a common, medically relevant human herpesvirus. The tegument layer of herpesvirus virions lies between the genome-containing capsids and the viral envelope. Proteins within the tegument layer of herpesviruses are released into the cell upon entry when the viral envelope fuses with the cell membrane. These proteins are fully formed and active and control v...
متن کاملThe tegument protein UL94 of human cytomegalovirus as a binding partner for tegument protein pp28 identified by intracellular imaging.
The tegument protein pp28 of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is essential for the assembly of infectious HCMV virions, but how it functions during the process of HCMV tegumentation and envelopment remains unclear. By using live cell fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) microscopy and yeast two-hybrid assays, we found that another HCMV tegument protein, UL94, was a specific binding partner...
متن کاملCytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses to human cytomegalovirus pp65, IE1-Exon4, gB, pp150, and pp28 in healthy individuals: reevaluation of prevalence of IE1-specific CTLs.
The prevalence of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) pp65-, pp150-, IE1-exon4-, gB- and pp28-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses was compared among 34 healthy individuals, grouped by neutralizing antibody titers. Moderately and highly seropositive donors showed predominantly pp65- and IE1-exon4-specific CTL responses (92% and 76% of the donors, respectively), with similar precursor freque...
متن کاملHuman cytomegalovirus tegument proteins ppUL82 (pp71) and ppUL35 interact and cooperatively activate the major immediate-early enhancer.
The tegument protein ppUL82 (pp71) of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has previously been shown to activate the immediate-early transcription of HCMV and to enhance the infectivity of viral DNA. This is concordant with its localization adjacent to promyelocytic leukemia oncogenic domains (PODs) immediately after infection. In a yeast two-hybrid screen, we identified the tegument protein ppUL35 as ...
متن کاملResponse to 'Fragment of tegument protein pp65 of human cytomegalovirus induces autoantibodies in BALB/c mice'
read with interest the recent paper by Hsieh and colleagues [1] asserting that cytomegalovirus (CMV) induces systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in genetically susceptible individuals. Th is assertion is based on the idea that SLE-associated autoantibodies that had been induced by a certain fragment of CMV were found in rodents. However, our previous studies have reported that autoantibodies det...
