Book excerpt: Epstein-Barr virus lytic replication is accomplished by an intricate cascade of gene expression that integrates viral DNA replication and structural protein synthesis. Most genes encoding structural proteins exhibit "true" late kinetics - their expression is strictly dependent on lytic DNA replication. Recently, the EBV BcRF1 gene was reported to encode a TATA box binding protein homolog, which preferentially recognizes the TATT sequence found in true late gene promoters. BcRF1 is one of seven EBV genes with homologs found in other [small beta]- and [small gamma]-, but not in [small alpha]-herpesviruses. Using EBV BACmids, we systematically disrupted each of these "[small beta][small gamma]" genes. We found that six of them, including BcRF1, exhibited an identical phenotype: intact viral DNA replication with loss of late gene expression. The proteins encoded by these six genes have been found by other investigators to form a viral protein complex that is essential for activation of TATT-containing reporters in EBV-negative HEK293 cells. Unexpectedly, in EBV infected HEK293 cells, we found that TATT reporter activation was weak and non-specific unless an EBV origin of lytic replication (OriLyt) was present in cis. Using two different replication-defective EBV genomes, we demonstrated that OriLyt-mediated DNA replication is required in cis for TATT reporter activation and for late gene expression from the EBV genome. We further demonstrate by fluorescence in situ hybridization that the late BcLF1 mRNA localizes to EBV DNA replication factories. These findings support a model in which the [small beta][small gamma] gene-encoded viral pre-initiation complex (vPIC) mediates late gene transcription from newly replicated viral DNA. While this model explains the dependence of late gene transcription on lytic DNA replication, it does not account for this dependence in [small alpha]-herpesviruses nor for recent reports that some EBV late genes are transcribed independently of vPIC. To rigorously define which transcription start sites (TSS) are dependent on viral lytic DNA replication or the [small beta][small gamma] complex, we performed Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE)-seq on cells infected with wildtype EBV or EBV mutants defective for DNA replication, [small beta][small gamma] function, or lacking an origin of lytic replication (OriLyt). This approach identified 16 true-late, 32 early, and 16 TSS that are active at low levels early and are further upregulated in a DNA replication-dependent manner (leaky late). Almost all late gene transcription is vPIC-dependent, with BCRF1 (vIL10), BDLF2, and BDLF3 transcripts being notable exceptions. We present evidence that leaky late transcription is not due to a distinct mechanism, but results from superimposition of the early and late transcription mechanisms at the same promoter. Our results represent the most comprehensive characterization of EBV lytic gene expression kinetics reported to date and suggest that most, but not all EBV late genes are vPIC-dependent

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive account of the human herpesviruses provides an encyclopedic overview of their basic virology and clinical manifestations. This group of viruses includes human simplex type 1 and 2, Epstein–Barr virus, Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, cytomegalovirus, HHV6A, 6B and 7, and varicella-zoster virus. The viral diseases and cancers they cause are significant and often recurrent. Their prevalence in the developed world accounts for a major burden of disease, and as a result there is a great deal of research into the pathophysiology of infection and immunobiology. Another important area covered within this volume concerns antiviral therapy and the development of vaccines. All these aspects are covered in depth, both scientifically and in terms of clinical guidelines for patient care. The text is illustrated generously throughout and is fully referenced to the latest research and developments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Epstein-Barr virus was discovered 15 years ago. Since that time an immense body of information has been accumu lated on this agent which has come to assume great signifi cance in many different fields of biological science. Thus, the virus has very special relevance in human medicine and oncology, in tumor virology, in immunology, and in mole cular virology, since it is the cause of infectious mononu cleosis and also the first human cancer virus, etiologically related to endemic Burkitt's lymphoma and probably to nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In addition, continuous human lymphoid cell lines initiated and maintained by the transform ing function of the virus genome provide a laboratory tool with wide and ever-growing applications. Innumerable papers on the Epstein-Barr virus have ap peared over recent years and reports of work with this agent now constitute a veritable flood. The present book provides the first and only comprehensive, authoritative over-view of all aspects of the virus by authors who have been the original and major contributors in their particular disciplines. A complete and up-to-date survey of this unique and important agent is thus provided which should be of great interest to experts, teachers, and students engaged in cancer research, virology, immunology, molecular biology, epide miology, and cell culture. Where topics have been dealt with from more than one of these viewpoints, some inevitable overlap and duplication has resulted; although this has been kept to a minimum, it has been retained in some places because of positive usefulness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epstein Barr Virus Nuclear Antigen 1 (EBNA1) is a DNA-binding viral protein necessary both for the maintenance of the Epstein Barr virus (EBV) viral plasmid in proliferating B-cells and the expression of some latent viral genes. EBNA1 is the only viral protein that is consistently expressed among proliferating, latently-infected cells and EBV associated malignancies. While it is clear that EBNA1 serves necessary roles for the maintenance of the EBV genome and for the expression of other viral proteins in latently infected cells, I have found that EBNA1 also interacts with the host cell to provide selective advantages to those cells that harbor EBV. I used an EBNA1 Position Weighted Matrix (PWM) to identify and subsequently confirm that EBNA1 binds cellular DNA 11kb upstream of the oncogene c-Myc. c-Myc is a potent oncogene that is induced by the EBV protein EBNA2 following EBV's infection of B-cells and drives resting B-cells out of G1/G0 to become proliferating blasts. However, robust induction of an oncogene such as c-Myc comes at a cost, and recently infected B-cells also undergo a DNA Damage Response (DDR). I show that by binding this site upstream of c-Myc, EBNA1 decreases its expression, and in turn limits the induction of the DNA Damage response (DDR), and inhibits the apoptosis induced following EBV's infection of primary B-cells. We have also identified and confirmed EBNA1-binding sites within the promoter for the NKG2D ligand ULBP1 and found its expression to be decreased by EBNA1 following EBV infection. The inhibition of ULBP1, which can be induced by genotoxic stress, allows EBV-infected B-cells to limit Natural Killer cell mediated immune surveillance. I have also used to approaches to identify further cellular genes that are candidates for being regulated transcriptionally by EBNA1. These studies provide definitive evidence that EBNA1 not only binds essential elements within the viral genome but also binds sites in the human genome at which it regulates gene expression and thereby promotes efficient establishment of EBV in B lymphocytes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epstein Barr virus (EBV) was discovered as the first human tumor virus around 50 years ago. Since its discovery in Burkitt’s lymphoma it has been associated with various other malignancies, infectious mononucleosis and even autoimmune diseases. The two book volumes on EBV summarize the first 50 years of research on this tumor virus, starting with historical perspectives on discovery, oncogenicity and immune control, reviewing the role that the virus plays in the various associated diseases and concluding with a discussion on how the immune system keeps persistent EBV infection under control in healthy EBV carriers and can be used to treat EBV associated diseases. The respective 32 chapters are written by international experts from three continents for health care providers, biomedical researchers and patients that are affected by EBV. The assembled knowledge should help to understand EBV associated diseases better and to develop EBV specific vaccination in the near future.
