Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 has evolved gamma interferon and stat1-repressible promoters for the lytic switch gene 50.
Cytokines regulate viral gene expression with important consequences for viral replication and pathogenesis. Gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) is a key regulator of chronic murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (gammaHV68) infection and a potent inhibitor of gammaHV68 reactivation from latency. Macrophages are the cell type that is responsive to the IFN-gamma-mediated control of gammaHV68 reactivation; however...
متن کاملTpl2/AP-1 enhances murine gammaherpesvirus 68 lytic replication.
How cellular factors regulate gammaherpesvirus lytic replication is not well understood. Here, through functional screening of a cellular kinase expression library, we identified mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 8 (MAP3K8/Tpl2) as a positive regulator of murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68 or gammaHV-68) lytic gene expression and replication. Tpl2 enhances MHV-68 lytic replication ...
متن کاملTranscriptome profile of murine gammaherpesvirus-68 lytic infection.
The murine gammaherpesvirus-68 genome encodes 73 protein-coding open reading frames with extensive similarities to human gamma(2) herpesviruses, as well as unique genes and cellular homologues. We performed transcriptome analysis of stage-specific viral RNA during permissive infection using an oligonucleotide-based microarray. Using this approach, M4, K3, ORF38, ORF50, ORF57 and ORF73 were desi...
متن کاملMurine gammaherpesvirus 68 contains two functional lytic origins of replication.
A 1.25-kbp DNA fragment from the right side of the genome containing the lytic origin of replication (oriLyt) of murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) has been identified by a plasmid replication assay. Here we show that a mutant MHV-68 with a deletion of an essential part of this oriLyt, generated by using an MHV-68 bacterial artificial chromosome, was only slightly attenuated and still able to ...
متن کاملGamma interferon is not essential for recovery from acute infection with murine gammaherpesvirus 68.
Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) when administered intranasally induces high levels of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) in the lymphoid tissues of infected mice. In order to investigate the role of this cytokine in the immune response to MHV-68, mice which were congenitally deficient in the IFN-gamma gene (IFN-gamma knockout mice) were infected with the virus. Comparison of the courses of the di...
