Book Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1

Download or read book Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 written by Kari Lynn Roberts and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) replicates in the nucleus and buds through the nuclear membrane to access the cytosol and complete the maturation process. The HSV-1 protein pUL31, along with its binding partner, pUL34, has been previously shown to be required for nucleocapsids to successfully bud through the nuclear membrane. pUL31 is also required for efficient viral DNA synthesis and packaging. After the HSV-1 exits the nucleus, the capsid acquires several accessory proteins (tegument) and finally a mature envelope by budding into vesicles of the trans-Golgi network (TGN). These virion-laden vesicles traffic toward the cell periphery and through cortical actin until ultimately the virion is secreted upon fusion of the TGN vesicle with the plasma membrane. The data presented here reveals new roles for pUL31, as cells infected with a UL31-null virus were delayed for viral gene expression as well as activation of NF[kappa]B and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) in multiple cell lines. At least one representative from each kinetic class of viral genes was examined at various times post infection. The protein expression defects were not caused by a failure to enter cells, was not rescued by ICP27 expressed in trans and correlated with NF[kappa]B activation. The data shows that these defects were not observed in the absence of the pUL31 binding partner, pUL34, and that while most pUL31 is expressed at late times post infection, low levels are detectable as early as 2 hours post infection. Data presented in this work also demonstrates a role for the actin motor myosin Va in the secretion of HSV-1 virions. Expression of two isoforms of dominant negative myosin Va (DN-myoVa) decreased virion secretion by 5075% as well as significantly decreased surface expression of viral glycoproteins B, M and D. DN-myoVa colocalized with TGN markers and the conformation of native myosin Va in infected cells was altered by 4 hours post infection. These data suggest that myosin Va is involved in the egress of virion-laden TGN vesicles as they transit through cortical actin toward the plasma membrane.

Download or read book The Herpesviruses written by Bernard Roizman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-01-19 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great truth is a truth whose opposite. is also a great truth. Thomas Mann (Essay on Freud, 1937) This volume centers on pseudorabies (PR V), herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2), and human cytomegalovirus (CMV) and fulfills three objectives. The chapters on the epidemiology and latency of HSV, and on the glycoproteins specified by HSV and CMV, set the stage for the discussions of the immunobiology and pathogenesis of human herpesvirus infections in Volume 4. The epidemiology of HSV is the basis of our understanding of the spread and survival of this virus in the human populations. Central to the epidemiology of HSV and its pathogenesis in humans is the ability of the virus to remain in a latent state for the life of its host. The viral membrane glycoproteins are among the most interesting virion proteins, primarily because of their critical role in the initiation of infection. Since they are the surface membrane proteins of the virion and appear on the surface of productively infected cells, they are also the obvious if not the exclusive targets of the immune response. The chapters on the transforming potential of HSV and CMV, and on the role of HSV in human cancer, deal with challenging problems requiring rather different experimental tools.

Download or read book Human Herpesviruses written by Ann Arvin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-08-16 with total page 1325 pages. 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: This book will contain a series of solicited chapters that concern with the molecular machines required by viruses to perform various essential functions of virus life cycle. The first three chapters (Introduction, Molecular Machines and Virus Architecture) introduce the reader to the best known molecular machines and to the structure of viruses. The remainder of the book will examine in detail various stages of the viral life cycle. Beginning with the viral entry into a host cell, the book takes the reader through replication of the genome, synthesis and assembly of viral structural components, genome packaging and maturation into an infectious virion. Each chapter will describe the components of the respective machine in molecular or atomic detail, genetic and biochemical analyses, and mechanism. Topics are carefully selected so that the reader is exposed to systems where there is a substantial infusion of new knowledge in recent years, which greatly elevated the fundamental mechanistic understanding of the respective molecular machine. The authors will be encouraged to simplify the detailed knowledge to basic concepts, include provocative new ideas, as well as design colorful graphics, thus making the cutting-edge information accessible to broad audience.

  • Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
  • Release : 2003-05-12
  • ISBN : 9783540443889
  • Pages : 232 pages

Download or read book Foamy Viruses written by Axel Rethwilm and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-05-12 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aberrant replication pathway of foamy viruses distinguishes them from all other retroviruses. Many details have been accumulated over the past ten or so years. Most of the findings on foamy viruses were obtained by research on a single virus isolate previously called "human foamy virus", which appeared to be the first to be investigated on a molecular level. However, to the editor's knowledge, genuine human foamy viruses do not exist, but several trans-species transmissions of different simian foamy viruses from monkeys and apes to human hosts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysis of GenesA and Genomes is a clear introduction to the theoretical and practical basis of genetic engineering, gene cloning and molecular biology. All aspects of genetic engineering in the post-genomic era are covered, beginning with the basics of DNA structure and DNA metabolism. Using an example-driven approach, the fundamentals of creating mutations in DNA, cloning in bacteria, yeast, plants and animals are all clearly presented. Newer technologies such as DNA macro and macroarrays, proteomics and bioinformatics are introduced in later chapters helping students to analyse and understand the vast amounts of data that are now available through genome sequence and function projects. Aimed at students with a basic knowledge of the molecular side of biology, this will be invaluable to those looking to better understand the complexities and capabilities of these important new technologies.
