The vaccinia virus gene I2L encodes a membrane protein with an essential role in virion entry.
The previously unstudied vaccinia virus gene I2L is conserved in all orthopoxviruses. We show here that the 8-kDa I2 protein is expressed at late times of infection, is tightly associated with membranes, and is encapsidated in mature virions. We have generated a recombinant virus in which I2 expression is dependent upon the inclusion of tetracycline in the culture medium. In the absence of I2, ...
متن کاملVaccinia virus gene H5R encodes a protein that is phosphorylated by the multisubstrate vaccinia virus B1R protein kinase.
Vaccinia virus gene B1R encodes a protein kinase, the previously identified substrates of which include the proteins S2 and Sa of 40S ribosomal subunits. This work characterizes another substrate of the B1R kinase: a 36-kDa protein induced at the early stage of infection. Partially purified 36-kDa protein, eluted from a single-stranded DNA-cellulose column by 0.5 M NaCl, was separated by two-di...
متن کاملGene UL11 of herpes simplex virus type 1 encodes a virion protein which is myristylated.
We have investigated whether herpes simplex virus (HSV) contains structural polypeptides which are modified by myristic acid. We demonstrate that herpes simplex virions contain a family of myristylated proteins, Mr approximately 13,000 to 16,000. These were mapped, using HSV-1/HSV-2 intertypic recombinants, to 0.130 to 0.204 map units on the virus genome. Using anti-peptide sera, raised against...
متن کاملProteolytic Cleavage of Vaccinia Virus Virion Proteins
Previous studies have suggested that cleavage of vaccinia virus core protein precursors occurs within the consensus tripeptide motif -A-G J X-. As an approach to delineate the sequence and structural features of the precursor polypeptides that are responsible for directing site-specific scission within this element, site-directed mutagenesis procedures were employed in concert with an in vivo t...
متن کاملVaccinia virus gene A18R encodes an essential DNA helicase.
The vaccinia virus A18R protein is a DNA-dependent ATPase that contains the canonical sequence motifs associated with the DEXH group of DNA and RNA helicases. Investigation of A18R protein function during infection indicated it functions in the early and late phases of vaccinia virus transcription. The A18R protein shares sequence similarity with the mammalian DNA helicase ERCC3. The ERCC3 prot...
