Inhibition of Poxvirus replication by streptovaricin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A component of streptovaricin complex inhibits the replication of poxvirus. To be effective, the inhibitor must be introduced early in the replication cycle; it appears to inhibit early messenger ribonucleic acid synthesis by viral cores, thus interfering with all subsequent events. Neither of the two major components of the complex, streptovaricin A or C, was the active component.

Inhibition of poxvirus maturation by rifamycin derivatives and related compounds.
The effect of a number of rifamycin derivatives and related compounds on the reversibility of the rifampin-induced virus maturation block was studied by using BHK-21 cells infected with vaccinia virus. All of the derivatives of 3-formyl rifamycin SV maintained this block, the required concentration varying from 100 to 1,000 mug/ml. These compounds vary only in the nature of the side-chain attac...
متن کاملInhibition of Poxvirus Gene Expression and Genome Replication by Bisbenzimide Derivatives
Virus infection of humans and livestock can be devastating for individuals and populations, sometimes resulting in large economic and societal impact. Prevention of virus disease by vaccination or antiviral agents is difficult to achieve. A notable exception was the eradication of human smallpox by vaccination over 30 years ago. Today, humans and animals remain susceptible to poxvirus infection...
متن کاملOrthopoxviruses require a functional ubiquitin-proteasome system for productive replication.
Cellular homeostasis depends on an intricate balance of protein expression and degradation. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway plays a crucial role in specifically targeting proteins tagged with ubiquitin for destruction. This degradation can be effectively blocked by both chemically synthesized and natural proteasome inhibitors. Poxviruses encode a number of proteins that exploit the ubiquitin-p...
متن کاملDevelopment of bacterial resistance to streptovaricin.
Streptovaricin' is a complex of closely related antibiotics which has received extensive study in our laboratories because of its broad in vitro antibacterial spectrum, and its in vivo activity against experimental infections of mice and guinea pigs with virulent strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Siminoff et al., 1957; Whitfield et al., 1957; Rhuland et al., 1957). A number of interesting ...
متن کاملEffect of Activation and Inhibition of Cellular PKR on Coxsackievirus B3 Replication
The ds-RNA activated protein kinase (PKR) is a serine-threonine kinase with MW of 68 KDa. It belongs to a family of kinases that control one of the translational initiation factors, eIF2. PKR is produced at high level in response to viral infection. This protein by phosphorylating eIF2 inhibits cellular protein synthesis. In this study, the effect of gamma interferon (IFN-γ), an activator, and ...
