Uncoating of vaccinia virus.
نویسنده
چکیده
Input vaccinia virus deoxyribonucleoproteids with buoyant densities (in CsCl) very similar (if not identical) to those of viral cores have been found in large cytoplasmic structures in which viral DNA replication takes place. The deoxyribonucleoproteids consist of at least five major and two minor core proteins and viral DNA which is protected against DNase digestion. It is suggested that viral core-like deoxyribonucleoproteids rather than released DNA are used in vaccinia-infected cells both for delayed-early gene transcription and viral DNA replication.

The assay, purification and properties of vaccinia virus-induced uncoating protein.
Vaccinia virus cores prepared in vitro can be uncoated by incubation with extracts of cells infected with vaccinia virus, as determined by the conversion of the genome to DNase susceptibility. This uncoating activity had all the characteristics of the corresponding in vivo activity and of the agent responsible for non-genetic reactivation. Thus, it was not induced by heat-inactivated virus, nor...
متن کاملElectron microscope study of the interaction of vaccinia virus with macrophages from immunized and nonimmunized rabbits.
A study using the electron microscope was conducted with the objective of comparing the efficiency of phagocytosis and the subsequent fate of the vaccinia virus in immune and nonimmune rabbit macrophages. Although immune rabbit macrophages inhibited viral replication, they did not differ from permissive nonimmune rabbit macrophages in their ability to ingest the virus. In addition, the immune c...
متن کاملMechanism of inhibition of vaccinia virus replication in adenovirus-infected HeLa cells.
The ability of vaccinia virus to replicate in HeLa cells which had been previously infected with adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) was studied in order to gain insight into the mechanism by which adenovirus inhibits the expression of host cell functions. Vaccinia virus was employed in these studies because it replicates in the cytoplasm, whereas Ad2 replicates in the nucleus of the cell. It was found tha...
متن کاملVaccinia virus penetration requires cholesterol and results in specific viral envelope proteins associated with lipid rafts.
Vaccinia virus infects a wide variety of mammalian cells from different hosts, but the mechanism of virus entry is not clearly defined. The mature intracellular vaccinia virus contains several envelope proteins mediating virion adsorption to cell surface glycosaminoglycans; however, it is not known how the bound virions initiate virion penetration into cells. For this study, we investigated the...
متن کاملTracking viral genomes in host cells at single-molecule resolution.
Viral DNA trafficking in cells has large impacts on physiology and disease development. Current methods lack the resolution and accuracy to visualize and quantify viral DNA trafficking at single-molecule resolution. We developed a noninvasive protocol for accurate quantification of viral DNA-genome (vDNA) trafficking in single cells. Ethynyl-modified nucleosides were used to metabolically label...
