The vaccinia virus I3L gene encodes a single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) that is essential for virus DNA replication and is conserved in all Chordopoxviruses. The I3 protein contains a negatively charged C-terminal tail that is a common feature of SSBs. Such acidic tails are critical for SSB-dependent replication, recombination and repair. We cloned and purified variants of the I3 protein,...
Currently, little is known about the ankyrin/F-box protein B4. Here, we report that B4R-null viruses exhibited reduced plaque size in tissue culture, and decreased ability to spread, as assessed by multiple-step growth analysis. Electron microscopy indicated that B4R-null viruses still formed mature and extracellular virions; however, there was a slight decrease of virions released into the media...
Vaccinia virus (VACV) strain TianTan was used for much of China's modern history to vaccinate against smallpox, however the only genome sequence contains errors. We have sequenced additional examples of TianTan to obtain a better picture of this important virus. We detected two different subclones. One (TP03) encodes large deletions in the terminal repeats that extend into both VEGF genes and create...
The protein composition of poxvirus particles remains uncertain because of their large size and structural complexity. This has complicated the characterization of even well-studied Orthopoxviruses, like vaccinia virus, and little or nothing is known about the capsid composition of viruses belonging to other poxvirus genera. This paper describes methods that address this problem and have been used...
Poxviruses appear to use single-strand annealing reactions to recombine linear molecules sharing short (<20 bp) regions of end homology. We have examined the effect of base mismatches and base insertions on the reaction efficiency and used mismatch-containing DNAs to further characterize the polarity of the exonuclease postulated to catalyze these reactions in vivo. Incorporating one or two base...
Vertebrate poxviruses encode homologs of cellular cupro-zinc superoxide dismutases (Cu-Zn SOD). In this study we have examined the molecular genetic properties of two Cu-Zn SOD homologs encoded by the Shope fibroma virus (SFV) and myxoma virus. These Leporipoxvirus proteins should be catalytically inactive as judged by the point mutations which alter a key catalytic arginine and restructure the predicted...
During poxvirus infection, both viral genomes and transfected DNAs are converted into high-molecular-weight concatemers by the replicative machinery. However, aside from the fact that concatemer formation coincides with viral replication, the mechanism and protein(s) catalyzing the reaction are unknown. Here we show that vaccinia virus DNA polymerase can catalyze single-stranded annealing reactions...
