The glycoprotein B homologue of human herpesvirus 6.
The gene for the homologue of herpesvirus glycoprotein B (gB) has been identified in the genome of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), strain U1102, and the nucleotide sequence was determined. The open reading frame encodes a protein of 830 amino acids (93.2K) with the characteristics of a transmembrane glycoprotein and close similarity to the gp58/116 complex of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). Monoclon...
متن کاملA novel homologue of Human herpesvirus 6 in chimpanzees.
Among the Betaherpesvirinae, human cytomegalovirus is the only virus to possess simian homologues. Indeed, intriguingly, no close simian homologue of the roseoloviruses Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7), the other two human members of the Betaherpesvirinae, has been identified to date. Here, the first simian homologue of HHV-6 is described, which was identified in comm...
متن کاملHuman herpesvirus 6 variant A glycoprotein H-glycoprotein L-glycoprotein Q complex associates with human CD46.
Human CD46 is a cellular receptor for human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6). Virus entry into host cells requires a glycoprotein H (gH)-glycoprotein L (gL) complex. We show that the CD46 ectodomain blocked HHV-6 infection and bound a complex of gH-gL and the 80-kDa U100 gene product, designated glycoprotein Q, indicating that the complex is a viral ligand for CD46.
متن کاملAssociation of pityriasis rosea with Human Herpesvirus-6
Background: Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a common papulosquamousskin disorder that is suspected to have an infectious etiology.We aimed to study the role of human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) inthe pathogenesis of PR.Method: We used immunohistochemical (IHC) assays to detectHHV-6 in patients with PR. Fifty-one patients with PR and 35 ageand sex matched healthy control samples were enrolled in thestudy. Th...
متن کاملImmune reactivity of human sera to the glycoprotein B of human herpesvirus 7.
The glycoprotein B (gB) is highly conserved among distinct human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) strains. Similarly to other herpesvirus glycoproteins, gB has been assumed to induce a specific human immune response. However, it did not appear as an immunodominant protein in conventional immunoblot assays. Recombinant gB, obtained from either Escherichia coli or baculovirus expression systems, did react s...
