Human cytomegalovirus tegument proteins ppUL82 (pp71) and ppUL35 interact and cooperatively activate the major immediate-early enhancer.
The tegument protein ppUL82 (pp71) of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has previously been shown to activate the immediate-early transcription of HCMV and to enhance the infectivity of viral DNA. This is concordant with its localization adjacent to promyelocytic leukemia oncogenic domains (PODs) immediately after infection. In a yeast two-hybrid screen, we identified the tegument protein ppUL35 as ...
متن کاملDaxx-mediated accumulation of human cytomegalovirus tegument protein pp71 at ND10 facilitates initiation of viral infection at these nuclear domains.
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) starts immediate-early transcription at nuclear domains 10 (ND10), forming a highly dynamic immediate transcript environment at this nuclear site. The reason for this spatial correlation remains enigmatic, and the mechanism for induction of transcription at ND10 is unknown. We investigated whether tegument-based transactivators are involved in the specific intranucl...
متن کاملHuman cytomegalovirus protein pp71 induces Daxx SUMOylation.
Proteins that participate in a diverse array of cellular processes can be modified covalently and reversibly on lysine residues by the small ubiquitin-like modifier proteins termed SUMOs. In some instances, such modification profoundly affects protein function, but the biological significance of many SUMOylation events remains unknown. Protein SUMOylation is modulated during many viral infectio...
متن کاملFunctional interaction between the pp71 protein of human cytomegalovirus and the PML-interacting protein human Daxx.
The tegument protein pp71 (UL82) of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has previously been shown to transactivate the major immediate-early enhancer-promoter of HCMV. Furthermore, this protein is able to enhance the infectivity of viral DNA and to accelerate the infection cycle, suggesting an important regulatory function during viral replication. To gain insight into the underlying mechanisms that a...
متن کاملTegument proteins of human cytomegalovirus.
SUMMARY Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a common, medically relevant human herpesvirus. The tegument layer of herpesvirus virions lies between the genome-containing capsids and the viral envelope. Proteins within the tegument layer of herpesviruses are released into the cell upon entry when the viral envelope fuses with the cell membrane. These proteins are fully formed and active and control v...
