Alkoxylalkyl Esters of Nucleotide Analogs Inhibit Polyomavirus DNA Replication and Large T Antigen Activities

چکیده
Polyomavirus-related infections are ubiqutious in immunocompromised individuals, and some cases intractable fatal. Due to a lack of approved drugs treat polyomavirus infections, cidofovir, phosphonate nucleotide analog cytomegalovirus has been repurposed as an antipolyomavirus agent.

Phosphorylation of Large T Antigen Regulates Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Replication
Merkel Cell Polyomavirus (MCPyV) was recently discovered as a novel human polyomavirus that is associated with ~80% of Merkel Cell Carcinomas. The Large Tumor antigen (LT) is an early viral protein which has a variety of functions, including manipulation of the cell cycle and initiating viral DNA replication. Phosphorylation plays a critical regulatory role for polyomavirus LT proteins, but no ...
متن کاملAmplification mediated by polyomavirus large T antigen defective in replication.
The polyomavirus large T antigen promotes homologous recombination at high rates when expressed in rat cells carrying the viral replication origin and two repeats of viral DNA sequences stably integrated into the cellular genome. Recombination consists of both reciprocal and nonreciprocal events and is promoted by mutants defective in the initiation of viral DNA synthesis (L. St-Onge, L. Boucha...
متن کاملStimulation of DNA replication from the polyomavirus origin by PCAF and GCN5 acetyltransferases: acetylation of large T antigen.
The PCAF and GCN5 acetyltransferases, but not p300 or CBP, stimulate DNA replication when tethered near the polyomavirus origin. Replication stimulation by PCAF and GCN5 is blocked by mutational inactivation of their acetyltransferase domains but not by deletion of sequences that bind p300 or CBP. Acetylation of histones near the polyomavirus origin assembled into chromatin in vivo is not detec...
متن کاملCyclin-dependent kinase regulation of the replication functions of polyomavirus large T antigen.
The amino-terminal portion of polyomavirus (Py) large T antigen (T Ag) contains two phosphorylation sites, at T187 and T278, which are potential substrates for cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). Our experiments were designed to test whether either or both of these sites are involved in the origin DNA (ori DNA) replication function of Py T Ag. Mutations were generated in Py T Ag whereby either or ...
متن کاملElements of the polyomavirus replication origin required for homologous recombination mediated by large T antigen.
We introduced various elements of the polyomavirus origin of DNA replication into the genome of rat cells, and we analyzed their capacity to elicit rearrangements within the integrated sequences when exposed to large T antigen. The cis-acting sequences required for homologous recombination were those that make up a functional replication origin.
