Walleye retroviruses associated with skin tumors and hyperplasias encode cyclin D homologs.
Walleye dermal sarcoma (WDS) and walleye epidermal hyperplasia (WEH) are skin diseases of walleye fish that appear and regress on a seasonal basis. We report here that the complex retroviruses etiologically associated with WDS (WDS virus [WDSV]) and WEH (WEH viruses 1 and 2 [WEHV1 and WEHV2, respectively]) encode D-type cyclin homologs. The retroviral cyclins (rv-cyclins) are distantly related ...
متن کاملSquamous epithelial proliferation induced by walleye dermal sarcoma retrovirus cyclin in transgenic mice.
Walleye dermal sarcoma (WDS) is a common disease of walleye fish in the United States and Canada. These proliferative lesions are present autumn through winter and regress in the spring. Walleye dermal sarcoma virus (WDSV), a retrovirus distantly related to other members of the family Retroviridae, has been etiologically linked to the development of WDS. We have reported that the D-cyclin homol...
متن کاملWalleye dermal sarcoma virus: OrfA N-terminal end inhibits the activity of a reporter gene directed by eukaryotic promoters and has a negative effect on the growth of fish and mammalian cells.
Walleye dermal sarcoma virus (WDSV) is a fish retrovirus causing a skin tumor termed walleye dermal sarcoma, which develops and regresses on a seasonal basis. The WDSV genome contains three short open reading frames designated orfA, orfB, and orfC in addition to the viral structural genes, gag, pol, and env. orfA and orfB transcripts are detected in tumors by reverse transcription-PCR. Recently...
متن کاملRetroviral cyclin enhances cyclin-dependent kinase-8 activity.
Alterations in the functional levels of cyclin-dependent kinase-8 (CDK8) or its partner, cyclin C, have been clearly associated with cancers, including colon cancer, melanoma, and osteosarcoma. Walleye dermal sarcoma virus encodes a retroviral cyclin (RV-cyclin) that localizes to interchromatin granule clusters and binds CDK8. It also binds to the Aα subunit (PR65) of protein phosphatase 2A (PP...
متن کاملWalleye dermal sarcoma virus cyclin interacts with components of the mediator complex and the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme.
Walleye dermal sarcoma virus (WDSV) encodes an accessory protein, OrfA, with sequence homology to cyclins (retrovirus cyclin). In cells transfected with an expression construct, OrfA was localized to the nucleus and was concentrated in interchromatin granule clusters (IGCs), sites where splicing factors are concentrated. Other proteins identified in IGCs include transcription factors, the large...
