Adenovirus DNA replication.

چکیده
Adenoviruses have attracted much attention as probes to study biological processes such as DNA replication, transcription, splicing, and cellular transformation. More recently these viruses have been used as gene-transfer vectors and oncolytic agents. On the other hand, adenoviruses are notorious pathogens in people with compromised immune functions. This article will briefly summarize the basic replication strategy of adenoviruses and the key proteins involved and will deal with the new developments since 2006. In addition, we will cover the development of antivirals that interfere with human adenovirus (HAdV) replication and the impact of HAdV on human disease.

Inhibition of adenovirus DNA replication by vesicular stomatitis virus leader RNA.
Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) leader RNA and a synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide of the same sequence were found to inhibit the replication of adenovirus DNA in vitro. In contrast, the small RNA transcribed by the VSV defective interfering particle DI-011 did not prevent adenovirus DNA replication. The inhibition produced by leader RNA was at the level of preterminal protein (pTP)-dCMP complex ...
متن کاملAdenovirus DNA replication.
Replication of the adenovirus genome is catalysed by adenovirus DNA polymerase in which the adenovirus preterminal protein acts as a protein primer. DNA polymerase and preterminal protein form a heterodimer which, in the presence of the cellular transcription factors NFI/CTFI and NFIII/Oct-1, binds to the origin of DNA replication. DNA replication is initiated by DNA polymerase mediated transfe...
متن کاملIn vitro complementation as an assay for purification of adenovirus DNA replication proteins.
As an approach to the purification of adenovirus-encoded DNA replication proteins, we have developed in vitro complementation assays that make use of viral mutants defective in DNA replication in vivo. Nuclear extracts prepared from cells infected with H5ts36 or H5ts125, two such mutants belonging to different complementation groups, were found to be defective in viral DNA replication in vitro....
متن کاملDNA replication-dependent binding of CTCF plays a critical role in adenovirus genome functions
The expression of adenovirus late genes is shown to require viral DNA replication, but its mechanism remains elusive. Here we found that knockdown of CTCF suppresses viral DNA replication as well as late, but not early, gene expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays indicated that CTCF binds to viral chromatin depending on viral DNA replication. These findings depict CTCF as a critical r...
متن کاملLocations of adenovirus genes required for the replication of adenovirus-associated virus.
We have used DNA transfection to identify several regions of the adenovirus genome needed to induce replication of the defective parvovirus, adenovirus-associated virus (AAV). Previous studies have indicated that only early adenovirus functions are needed to aid the replication of AAV. In this report, we demonstrate that three restriction endonuclease fragments of adenovirus DNA are necessary f...
متن کاملInitiation of adenovirus DNA replication in vitro requires a specific DNA sequence.
Initiation of adenovirus DNA replication in vitro occurs on a linearized plasmid DNA containing 3,327 base pairs of the adenovirus terminal sequence. Various deletions have been constructed in the plasmid DNA and their template activities examined. Deletions from an internal restriction enzyme cleavage site that retain only 20 base pairs or more of the adenovirus terminal sequence support initi...
