The plus-sense single-stranded RNA of tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) encodes a 19-kDa protein, which is translated from a 3′ proximal open reading frame (p19) that is entirely nested within the cell-to-cell movement gene (p22). Expression of the cytosolic p19-protein induces either a systemic lethal collapse in Nicotiana benthamiana and N. clevelandii, or necrotic local lesions on resistant N. tabacum...
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection alters the expression of host cell genes at both the mRNA and protein levels. To obtain a more comprehensive view of the global effects of HIV infection of CD4-positive T-cells at the mRNA level, we performed cDNA microarray analysis on approximately 1500 cellular cDNAs at 2 and 3 days postinfection (p.i.) with HIV-1. Host cell gene expression...
Aside from a common gene organization shared with other picornaviruses, hepatitis A virus (HAV) is characterized by its slow-growth phenotype, the inability to shut off host macromolecular synthesis, and, in general, lack of cytopathic (cp) effects in permissive cell cultures. Nevertheless, several cp HAV strains have been isolated during the past decade. In FRhK-4 cells infected with HM175/24a, a...
To study DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair in mammalian cells, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae HO endonuclease gene, or its recognition site, was cloned into the adenovirus E3 or E1 regions. Analysis of DNA from human A549 cells coinfected with the E3::HO gene and site viruses showed that HO endonuclease was active and that broken viral genomes were detectable 12 h postinfection, increasing with time...
The phosphoproteins (P) of paramyxoviruses and rhabdoviruses are cofactors of the viral polymerase (L) and chaperones of soluble nucleoprotein preventing its polymerization and nonspecific binding to cellular RNA. The primary sequences of six paramyxovirus P proteins were compared, and although there was virtually no sequence similarity, there were two regions with similar secondary structure predictions...
Host proteins are incorporated both on and inside human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) virions. To identify cellular proteins inside HIV-1, virion preparations were treated by a protease-digestion technique that removes external host proteins, allowing for the study of the proteins inside the virus. Treated HIV-1 preparations were analyzed by immunoblot, high-pressure liquid chromatography,...
Despite intensive surveillance, Venezuelan hemorrhagic fever (VHF), caused by Guanarito (GTO) virus, has been detected in only a small region of western Venezuela. To determine whether VHF is associated with a particular regional GTO virus strain(s), 29 isolates from rodents and humans throughout the surrounding regions were analyzed by partial sequencing of the nucleocapsid protein gene. Phylogenetic...
Rice grassy stunt virus is a member of the genus Tenuivirus, is persistently transmitted by a brown planthopper, and has occurred in rice plants in South, Southeast, and East Asia (similar to North and South America). We determined the complete nucleotide (nt) sequences of RNAs 1 (9760 nt), 2 (4069 nt), 3 (3127 nt), 4 (2909 nt), 5 (2704 nt), and 6 (2590 nt) of a southern Philippine isolate from South...
In this study, we examined the role of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in macaques immunized with an attenuated strain of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVmac239Δnef) in protection against pathogenic challenge with SIVmac251. Our results indicate that attenuated SIVmac239Δnef can elicit specific CTL precursor cells (CTLp), but no correlation was observed...
Full-length genomes of the feline foamy virus (FFV or FeFV) isolate FUV were constructed. DNA clone pFeFV-7 stably directed the expression of infectious FFV progeny virus indistinguishable from wild-type, uncloned FFV isolate FUV. The env and bel 1 genes of pFeFV-7 were substituted for by corresponding sequences of the FFV serotype 951 since previous studies implicated a defined part of FFV Env protein...
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a complex proliferative lesion long suspected of being dependent on exogenous paracrine signaling molecules to stimulate its proliferative, angiogenic, and inflammatory components. In particular, both clinical and experimental observations have pointed to a potential role for inflammatory cytokines as permissive factors for KS development, but KS pathogenesis is also critically...
Vigna unguiculata (cowpea) and Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean) are permissive hosts for southern cowpea mosaic virus (SCPMV) and southern bean mosaic virus (SBMV), respectively. Neither of these two sobemoviruses systemically infects the permissive host of the other. Although bean cells are permissive for SCPMV RNA synthesis, they do not support the assembly of this virus. Thus, the host range restriction...
We searched for cellular proteins that interact with Epstein–Barr (EBV) virus nuclear antigen-1, which is a latent EBV origin-binding protein detected in all EBV latently infected cells and essential for maintenance of the latent EBV genome, by a yeast two-hybrid screening of a B lymphocyte cDNA library in this study. Interaction of polypeptides synthesized from three selected cDNA clones with EBNA-1...
An attenuated equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV), V26, was previously prepared by 50 passages of the Japanese virulent strain V70 in primary horse macrophage culture. The horses inoculated with this V26 virus were shown to raise neutralizing antibodies against V70 without any viremia. Here, we investigated the in vitro and in vivo replication ability of V26. Comparison of the long-terminal repeat...
The primary cell types that sustain polyomavirus (Py) replication following intranasal infection as well as the nature of the host cellular response to Py were unknown. As this is an essential and specific site for virus entry, it seems likely that viral gene function must be adapted to these mucosal tissues. Using immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, we determined the cell types in the...
Adeno-associated virus type 2 nonstructural protein Rep78 [621 amino acids (aa) long] affects the expression of various cellular and viral genes. In this study we examined the effects of Rep78 on expression of the luciferase gene from the human cytomegalovirus immediate-early promoter in HeLa cells and on translation of RNA encoding luciferase in rabbit reticulocyte lysate. When Rep78 and luciferase...
The cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) open reading frame VI product (P6) is involved in several aspects of the infectious cycle. P6 specifically controls the synthesis of other CaMV proteins by transactivating their expression from the polycistronic 35S RNA. By far-Western assays, we have demonstrated that P6 interacts with proteins from both healthy and CaMV-infected leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana...
Replication-competent retrovirus (RCR) was identified in a GP+envAM12-derived producer cell, containing the MFG-S-Neo retroviral vector, using a marker rescue assay. Studies were undertaken to determine the origin and structure of this RCR. Receptor interference assays demonstrated that the virus was pseudotyped with an ecotropic envelope. Molecular analysis demonstrated the presence of a MoMLV ecotropic...
The Kennedy peptide, 731 PRGPDRPEGIEEEGGERDRDRS 752 , from the cytoplasmic domain of the gp41 transmembrane envelope glycoprotein of HIV-1 contains a conformationally dependent neutralizing epitope (ERDRD) and a linear nonneutralizing epitope (IEEE). No recognized murine T cell epitope is present. The peptide usually stimulates virus-specific antibody, but this is not always neutralizing...
