Growth inhibition by vaccinia virus growth factor.
Vaccinia virus growth factor (VGF), a highly glycosylated 77-residue epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like polypeptide encoded in vaccinia poxvirus, is reported to play an important role in stimulating growth of uninfected cells to facilitate virus infection. We have chemically synthesized the unglycosylated forms of VGF and VGF19-69, a shortened VGF analog consisting of 51 residues and comprising...
متن کاملVaccinia virus growth factor stimulates tyrosine protein kinase activity of A431 cell epidermal growth factor receptors.
Infection of A431 cells with vaccinia virus, or exposure to a mitogenic polypeptide secreted by vaccinia virus-infected cells, induces tyrosine phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptors.
متن کاملInhibition of IκB Kinase by Vaccinia Virus Virulence Factor B14
The IkappaB kinase (IKK) complex is a key regulator of signal transduction pathways leading to the induction of NF-kappaB-dependent gene expression and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. It therefore represents a major target for the development of anti-inflammatory therapeutic drugs and may be targeted by pathogens seeking to diminish the host response to infection. Previously, the vacc...
متن کاملInhibition of vaccinia virus growth by zinc ions: effects on early RNA and thymidine kinase synthesis.
Accumulation of thymidine kinase activity in vaccinia virus-infected cells was severely inhibited by zinc ions if the drug was added within 1 h postinfection. If added later, zinc ions had no effect on the enzyme synthesis. A fraction of RNA which is normally synthesized in infected cells, was missing from a proper part of the gradient if the cells were treated with zinc ions within 1 h postinf...
