Structures of feline immunodeficiency virus dUTP pyrophosphatase and its nucleotide complexes in three crystal forms.
dUTP pyrophosphatase (dUTPase) cleaves the alpha-beta phosphodiester of dUTP to form pyrophosphate and dUMP, preventing incorporation of uracil into DNA and providing the substrate for thymine synthesis. Seven crystal structures of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) dUTPase in three crystal forms have been determined, including complexes with substrate (dUTP), product (dUMP) or inhibitor (dUDP...
متن کاملFeline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus.
Ophthalmic manifestations of FeLV or FIV infection can occur in all ocular tissues and may be manifestations of direct viral effects or secondary to viral-related malignant transformation. Additionally, the manifestations of common feline ophthalmic pathogens may be more severe and poorly responsive to therapy because of the immunosuppressive effects of FeLV or FIV infection. Prompt diagnosis o...

RISK OF INFECTION/EXPOSURE The risk of infection is higher in younger animals and cats that are in contact with multiple cats (strays). Generally, Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is spread by casual contact between cats although as they age, resistance to infection develops. Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is spread more commonly through bite wounds or through sexual behaviour. Exposure occurs...
متن کاملInfections of feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus.
Feline retrovirus infections have been extensively studied for more than 30 years as an animal model for the persistent infections and pathogenesis caused by retroviruses in general. Two retroviruses, feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), have been recognized as causative agents of a variety of diseases including proliferative and degenerative diseases. Recent st...
متن کاملNMR Structure of the Myristylated Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Matrix Protein
Membrane targeting by the Gag proteins of the human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV types-1 and -2) is mediated by Gag's N-terminally myristylated matrix (MA) domain and is dependent on cellular phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2]. To determine if other lentiviruses employ a similar membrane targeting mechanism, we initiated studies of the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), a wide...
