The Telomeric Repeats of Human Herpesvirus 6A (HHV-6A) Are Required for Efficient Virus Integration
Human herpesvirus 6A (HHV-6A) and 6B (HHV-6B) are ubiquitous betaherpesviruses that infects humans within the first years of life and establishes latency in various cell types. Both viruses can integrate their genomes into telomeres of host chromosomes in latently infected cells. The molecular mechanism of viral integration remains elusive. Intriguingly, HHV-6A, HHV-6B and several other herpesv...
متن کاملHuman herpesvirus 7 infection of CD4+(+) T cells does not require expression of the OKT4 epitope.
To evaluate the role of the OKT4 epitope in human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) infection, we studied the susceptibility to HHV-7 infection of CD4+ T cells isolated from two individuals with OKT4 epitope deficiency. HHV-7-infected OKT4-Leu3a+ T cells exhibited the characteristic cytopathic effect, reactivity with HHV-7-seropositive serum by immunofluorescence and down-modulation of surface CD4 in a man...
متن کاملIdentification of the V1 region as a linear neutralizing epitope of the simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac envelope glycoprotein.
The sequence variability of viral structure polypeptides has been associated with immune escape mechanisms. The V1 region of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) is a highly variable region of the SIVmac env gene. Here, we describe the V1 region as a linear neutralizing epitope. V1 region-specific neutralizing antibodies (NAb) were first demonstrated in a rabbit infected with a recombinant vacci...
متن کاملThe cytoplasmic terminus of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus glycoprotein B is not essential for virion egress and infectivity.
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV)-encoded glycoprotein B (gB) is an important determinant of viral infectivity and virion egress. A small interfering RNA (siRNA)-based strategy was devised to inhibit KSHV gB gene expression. Transient cotransfection of plasmids constitutively expressing gB and anti-gB siRNAs in 293 cells substantially inhibited gB mRNA levels and protein production...
متن کاملThe 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...
