The varicella-zoster virus (VZV) ORF9 protein interacts with the IE62 major VZV transactivator.
The varicella-zoster virus (VZV) ORF9 protein is a member of the herpesvirus UL49 gene family but shares limited identity and similarity with the UL49 prototype, herpes simplex virus type 1 VP22. ORF9 mRNA is the most abundantly expressed message during VZV infection; however, little is known concerning the functions of the ORF9 protein. We have found that the VZV major transactivator IE62 and ...
متن کاملAcquired free protein S deficiency in children with steroid resistant nephrosis.
Plasma and urine concentrations of protein S were measured in five children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. It was found that plasma free protein S was reduced in three out of the five patients studied. Thus, acquired free protein S deficiency does occur in children with nephrotic syndrome and is one of many factors which may place them at risk for a thromboembolic event.
متن کاملVaricella Zoster Virus (VZV)-Human Neuron Interaction
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a highly neurotropic, exclusively human herpesvirus. Primary infection causes varicella (chickenpox), wherein VZV replicates in multiple organs, particularly the skin. Widespread infection in vivo is confirmed by the ability of VZV to kill tissue culture cells in vitro derived from any organ. After varicella, VZV becomes latent in ganglionic neurons along the ent...
متن کاملThe varicella-zoster virus (VZV) open-reading frame 29 protein acts as a modulator of a late VZV gene promoter.
Transient expression assays have shown that the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) open-reading frame (ORF) 29 gene product can act as a modulator of VZV gene expression. The ORF 29 protein alone does not appear to have any effect on transcription; however, in its presence, changes in the level of reporter gene activity mediated by the VZV immediate early (IE) 62 major transactivator are seen. Increa...
متن کاملLacunar infarction in child with Protein S deficiency: a case report
Abstract Arterial ischemic stroke defines as a new focal neurologic deficit that lasted 24 hours or longer. Stroke is relatively rare in children and incidence of cerebrovascular disease is 1 per 4000 in neonates and 1 per 7000 to 1 per 70000 in older children (1 month to 18 years). Protein S deficiency is one of the causes of the stroke in children. Major manifestations of protein S deficienc...
