Three-dimensional structure of the human herpesvirus 8 capsid.
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), or Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, is a gammaherpesvirus implicated in all forms of Kaposi's sarcoma and certain lymphomas. HHV-8 has been extensively characterized, both biochemically and immunologically, since its first description in 1994. However, its three-dimensional (3D) structure remained heretofore undetermined largely due to difficulties in viral ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional structure of canine adenovirus serotype 2 capsid.
There are more than 100 known adenovirus (AdV) serotypes, including 50 human serotypes. Because AdV-induced disease is relatively species specific, vectors derived from nonhuman serotypes may have wider clinical potential based, in part, on the lack of ubiquitous memory immunity. Whereas a few of the human serotype capsids have been studied at the structural level, none of the nonhuman serotype...
متن کاملThree-dimensional localization of pORF65 in Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus capsid.
Of the six herpesvirus capsid proteins, the smallest capsid proteins (SCPs) share the least sequence homology among herpesvirus family members and have been implicated in virus specificity during infection. The herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) SCP was shown to be horn shaped and to specifically bind the upper domain of each major capsid protein in hexons but not in pentons. In Kaposi's sarcoma-as...
متن کامل[Human herpesvirus 8/Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus].
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), a gammaherpesvirus implicated in Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma, and Castleman's disease, encodes several pathogenically important cellular homologs. To define the HHV-8 transcription program, RNA obtained from latently infected body cavity-based lymphoma 1 cells induced to undergo lytic replication was used to query a custom HHV-8 DNA microarray contai...
متن کاملHuman herpesvirus 8--the first human Rhadinovirus.
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus, also known as human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), is the first known human member of the genus Rhadinovirus. It is regularly found by polymerase chain reaction in all forms of KS, in certain types of Castleman's disease, and in body cavity-based B-cell lymphoma. Other members of this virus group occur in nonhuman primates, ungulates, rabbits, and mice and ...
