The murine gammaherpesvirus-68 M11 protein inhibits Fas- and TNF-induced apoptosis.
The murine gammaherpesvirus-68 (MHV-68) M11 gene encodes a protein predicted to have limited homology to the bcl-2 family of proteins. Unlike most of the other viral bcl-2 homologues, which have both BH1 and BH2 domains conserved with respect to bcl-2, the M11 protein has a BH1 domain, but apparently lacks a BH2 domain. Transfection of HeLa cells with an epitope-tagged MHV-68 M11 construct show...
متن کاملMurine Gammaherpesvirus-68 Inhibits Antigen Presentation by Dendritic Cells
Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in initiating adaptive immunity. Murine gammaherpesvirus-68 (MHV-68), like many persistent viruses, infects DCs during normal host colonization. It therefore provides a means to understanding what host and viral genes contribute to this aspect of pathogenesis. The infected DC phenotype is likely to depend on whether viral gene expression is lytic or lat...
متن کاملMurine gammaherpesvirus 68 encodes a second PML-modifying protein.
The ORF75c tegument protein of murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68) promotes the degradation of the antiviral promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein. Surprisingly, MHV68 expressing a degradation-deficient ORF75c replicated in cell culture and in mice similar to the wild-type virus. However, in cells infected with this mutant virus, PML formed novel track-like structures that are induced by ORF61, t...
متن کاملB cells regulate murine gammaherpesvirus 68 latency.
The dynamics of the establishment of, and reactivation from, gammaherpesviruses latency has not been quantitatively analyzed in the natural host. Gammaherpesvirus 68 (gammaHV68) is a murine gammaherpesvirus genetically related to primate gammaherpesviruses that establishes a latent infection in infected mice. We used limiting dilution reactivation (frequency of cells reactivating gammaHV68 in v...
متن کاملTick-Borne Transmission of Murine Gammaherpesvirus 68
Herpesviruses are a large group of DNA viruses infecting mainly vertebrates. Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68) is often used as a model in studies of the pathogenesis of clinically important human gammaherpesviruses such as Epstein-Barr virus and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus. This rodent virus appears to be geographically widespread; however, its natural transmission cycle is unknow...
