Previous reports (H. Delius and J. B. Clements, J. Gen. Virol. 33:125-134, 1976; G. S. Hayward, R. J. Jacob, S. C. Wadsworth, and B. Roizman, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 72:4243-4247, 1975; B. Roizman, G. S. Hayward, R. Jacob, S. W. Wadsworth, and R. W. Honess, Excerpta Med. Int. Congr. Ser. 2:188-198, 1974) have shown that herpes simplex virus DNA extracted from virions accumulating in the cytoplasm of infected cells consists of four populations of linear molecules differing in the orientation of the covalently linked large (L) and small (S) components relative to each other. Together, these four isomeric arrangements of viral DNA display four different termini and four different L-S component junctions. In the studies reported in this paper, we analyzed with restriction endonucleases the newly replicated viral DNA shortly after the onset of viral DNA synthesis, the progeny DNA accumulating in the nuclei late in infection, and rapidly sedimenting DNA present in nuclei of infected cells at 8 h after infection. In each instance the nuclear viral DNA contained a decreased concentration of all four terminal fragments and an increase in the concentration of fragments spanning the junction of L and S components relative to the concentration of other DNA fragments. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that the viral DNA accumulating in the nuclei consists of head-to-tail concatemers arising from the replication of DNA by a rolling-circle mechanism. A model is presented for generation of all four isomeric arrangements of herpes simplex virus DNA from one arrangement based on excision and repair of unit length DNA from head-to-tail concatemers and known features of the sequence arrangement of viral DNA.  相似文献

Herpex simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) RNA labeled with with [methyl-3H] methionine at various times during the infectious cycle and purified by hybridization to viral DNA was analyzed for the presence of methylated nucleotides. The data indicate the following. (i) RNA labeled from 0 to 14 h postinfection and accumulating in the cytoplasm contained internal base-methylated nucleotides and terminal oligonucleotides consistent with the structure 7mG(5')ppp-(5')XmpYmpNp. Similar methylated nucleotides and oligonucleotides were also found in viral RNA accumulating in the cytoplasm of cells treated with cycloheximide from the time of infection. Previous studies (M. Kozak and B. Roizman, 1974) have shown that, whereas the RNA accumulating in the 14-h infected cells contains all of the sequences functioning as mRNA throughout infection, the RNA accumulating in the cytoplasm of cycloheximide-treated cells is associated with polyribosomes synthesizing the earliest (alpha) group of polypeptides specified by the virus. (ii) Cytoplasmic viral RNA from cells labeled 11 to 14 h postinfection as well as the total adenylated RNA in the cytoplasm and polyribosomes labeled in the same fashion contained the terminal oligonucleotide but not the internal base-methylated nucleotide.  相似文献

HEp-2 cell proteins electrophoretically separated in denaturing polyacrylamide gels and electrically transferred to nitrocellulose sheets contain a polypeptide which efficiently binds linear native DNA end labeled with 32P but not denatured DNA. The polypeptide has an apparent molecular weight of ca. 130,000. The activity of the protein was stable, and no appreciable turnover was observed after exposure of uninfected cells to inhibitory concentrations of cycloheximide for intervals of up to 24 h. However, the activity was absent from lysates of cells harvested 6 h or later postinfection with wild-type viruses. To identify the viral function involved in the loss of DNA-binding activity, we tested the lysates of cells infected with several mutants. Thus, the DNA-binding activity was unaffected in cells infected with a temperature-sensitive mutant (herpes simplex virus 1 tsLB2) in the alpha 4 gene and was maintained at a nonpermissive temperature (39 degrees C). Experiments involving (i) temperature shift-down of cells infected with tsLB2 in the presence of cycloheximide, (ii) withdrawal of cycloheximide in the presence and absence of actinomycin D from cells infected with wild-type virus, (iii) infection of cells at 33 and 39 degrees C with herpes simplex virus 1 tsHA1 carrying a temperature-sensitive lesion in the beta 8 gene, and (iv) infection of cells in the presence of inhibitory concentrations of phosphonoacetate led to the conclusion that the viral functions responsible for the loss of DNA-binding capacity were specified by either beta or gamma genes not dependent on viral DNA synthesis for their expression.  相似文献

5' S-isobutyl-adenosine (SIBA), a structural analogue of S-adenosylhomocysteine, reversibly blocks the multiplication of herpes simplex type 1 virus. In the presence of SIBA, viral protein synthesis is inhibited. After removing SIBA the synthesis of proteins starts rapidly again. The new polypeptides are mainly alpha proteins (Honess and Roizman, J. Virol. 14:8-19, 1974,), normally the first to be synthesized after infection. The rapid synthesis of proteins after release of inhibition seems to be directed by mRNA formed in the presence of SIBA as indicated by experiments using actinomycin D but which was undermethylated as shown by analysis of methyl groups on RNA. SIBA inhibits the methylation of mRNA and especially that of the 5' cap. Capping of mRNA thus seems to be essential for efficient translation. The analogue affected various methylations to different extents.  相似文献

Transcription map for adenovirus type 12 DNA.   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
The regions of the adenovirus type 12 genome which encode l- and r-strand-specific cytoplasmic RNA were mapped by the following procedure. Radioactive, intact, separated complementary strands of the viral genome were hybridized to saturating amounts of unlabeled late cytoplasmic RNA. The segments of each DNA strand complementary to the RNA were then purified by S1 nuclease digestion of the hybrids. The arrangement of the coding regions of each strand was deduced from the pattern of hybridization of these probes to unlabeled viral DNA fragments produced by digestion with EcoRI, BamHI, and HindIII.. The resulting map is similar, if not identical, to that of adenovirus type 2. The subset of the late cytoplasmic RNA sequences which are expressed at early times were located on the map by hybridizing labeled, early cytoplasmic RNA to both unlabeled DNA fragments and unlabeled complementary strands of specific fragments. Early cytoplasmic RNA hybridized to the r-strand to EcoRI-C and BamHI-B and to the l-strand of BamHI-E. Hybridization to BamHI-C was also observed. The relative rates of accumulation of cytoplasmic RNA complementary to individual restriction fragments was measured at both early and late times. Early during infection, most of the viral RNA appearing in the cytoplasm was derived from the molecular ends of the genome. Later (24 to 26 h postinfection) the majority of the newly labeled cytoplasmic RNA was transcribed from DNA sequences mapping between 25 and 60 map units on the genome.  相似文献

RNA species, extracted at the time of peak synthesis of the alpha, beta, and gamma classes of herpes simplex virus polypeptides from lytically infected Vero cells, were examined for homology to the BglII-N fragment (map units 0.58 to 0.63) of herpes simplex virus type 2 DNA. By using northern blot analysis, two major and several minor polyadenylated RNA species showed homology to the BglII-N fragment at times corresponding to the maximum synthesis of the beta (7 h postinfection) and gamma (12 h postinfection) herpes simplex virus polypeptides. No alpha RNA homologous to the BglII-N fragment was detected.  相似文献

Previous studies have shown that cells infected with the herpes simplex virus 1(HFEM) mutant tsB7 and maintained at the nonpermissive temperature fail to accumulate viral polypeptides. Analyses of intertypic recombinants generated by marker rescue of tsB7 with herpes simplex virus 2 DNA fragments localized the mutation between 0.46 and 0.52 map units on the viral genome (Knipe et al., J. Virol. 38:539-547, 1981). In this paper we report that the mutation in tsB7 affects several aspects of the reproductive cycle of the virus at the nonpermissive temperature. Thus, (i) viral capsids accumulate at the nuclear pores and do not release viral DNA for at least 6 h postinfection at 39 degrees C. The DNA was released within 30 min after a shift to the permissive temperature. (ii) Experiments involving shifts from the permissive to the nonpermissive temperature indicated that viral protein synthesis was not sustained in cells maintained at the permissive temperature for less than 4 h. (iii) Viral DNA synthesis was delayed at the permissive temperature for as long as 8 h. Once initiated, it continued at 39 degrees C. (iv) Marker rescue of tsB7 by transfection with herpes simplex virus 1(F) DNA fragments localized the mutation to between 0.501 and 0.503 map units on the viral genome. These results are consistent with the tsB7 lesion being in a gene coding for a virion component which affects release of viral DNA from capsids and onset of viral DNA synthesis.  相似文献

Previous studies have shown that a ts mutant [herpes simplex virus 1 (mP)ts66.4] in the UL15 gene fails to package viral DNA into capsids (A. P. W. Poon and B. Roizman, J. Virol. 67:4497-4503, 1993) and that although the intron separating the first and second exons of the UL15 gene contains UL16 and UL17 open reading frames, replacement of the first exon with a cDNA copy of the entire gene does not affect viral replication (J.D. Baines, and B. Roizman, J. Virol. 66:5621-5626, 1992). We report that (i) a polyclonal rabbit antiserum generated against a chimeric protein consisting of the bacterial maltose-binding protein fused in frame to the majority of sequences contained in the second exon of the UL15 gene reacted with two proteins with M(r) of 35,000 and 75,000, respectively, in cells infected with a virus containing the authentic gene yielding a spliced mRNA or with a virus in which the authentic UL15 gene was replaced with a cDNA copy. (ii) Insertion of 20 additional codons into the C terminus of UL15 exon II caused a reduction in the electrophoretic mobility of both the apparently 35,000- and 75,000-M(r) proteins, unambiguously demonstrating that both share the carboxyl terminus of the UL15 exon II. (iii) Accumulation of the 35,000-M(r) protein was reduced in cells infected and maintained in the presence of phosphonoacetate, an inhibitor of viral DNA synthesis. (iv) The UL15 proteins were localized in the perinuclear space at 6 h after infection and largely in the nucleus at 12 h after infection. (v) Viral DNA accumulating in cells infected with herpes simplex virus 1(mP)ts66.4 and maintained at the nonpermissive temperature was in an endless (concatemeric) form, and therefore UL15 is required for the cleavage of mature, unit-length molecules for packaging into capsids.  相似文献

Unique fragments of adenovirus type 2 DNA generated by cleavage with endonuclease R-Eco RI or endonuclease R-Hsu I (Hin dIII) were used to map cytoplasmic viral RNAs transcribed early in productive infection. Radioactive early viral RNA was first fractionated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Eluted viral RNAs were then tested for hybrid formation with DNA fragments. The Eco RI DNA fragment (Eco RI-A) which contains the left-hand 58% of the genome hybridized 13S and 11S RNAs. More detailed mapping of these RNAs was achieved by hybridization to the seven Hsu I fragments of Eco RI-A. The early RNA annealed only to Hsu I-G and C, two fragments which comprise the extreme left-hand 17% of the genome. Viral RNA migrating as 13S and 11S annealed to Hsu I-G, and 13S RNA annealed to Hsu I-C. A 13S RNA is transcribed from Eco RI-A late in infection (18 h). Hybridization-inhibition studies with Eco RI-A DNA, early cytoplasmic RNA, and 3H-labeled 13S late RNA demonstrated that this RNA synthesized at late times is an early RNA species which continues to be synthesized in large amounts at 18 h. This 13S RNA synthesized at 18 h hybridized to Hsu I-C but not to Hsu I-G DNA. These results establish that the 13S RNAs transcribed from Hsu I-G and C at early times must be different species.  相似文献

More than 50 RNAs expressed by Epstein-Barr virus late in productive infection have been identified. B95-8-infected cells were induced to a relatively high level of permissive infection with the tumor promotor 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. Polyadenylated RNAs were extracted from the cell cytoplasm, separated by size on formaldehyde gels, transferred to nitrocellulose, and hybridized to labeled recombinant Epstein-Barr virus DNA fragments. Comparison of RNAs from induced cultures with RNAs from induced cultures also treated with phosphonoacetic acid to inhibit viral DNA synthesis identifies two RNA classes: a persistent early class of RNAs whose abundance is relatively resistant to viral DNA synthesis inhibition and a late class of RNAs whose abundance is relatively sensitive to viral DNA synthesis inhibition. The persistent early and late RNAs are not clustered but are intermixed and scattered through most of segments UL and US. The cytoplasmic polyadenylated RNAs expressed during latent infection were not detected in productively infected cells, indicating that different classes of viral RNA are associated with latent and productive infection. Non-polyadenylated small RNAs originally identified in cells latently infected with Epstein-Barr virus are expressed in greater abundance in productively infected cells and are part of the early RNA class.  相似文献

Cloned BglII fragment N (map units 0.58 to 0.625) of herpes simplex virus type 2 DNA has been shown to transform rodent cells to an oncogenic phenotype (Galloway and McDougall, J. Virol. 38: 749-760, 1981). RNA homologous to this fragment directs the synthesis of five polypeptides in a cell-free translation system. The approximate molecular weights of these proteins are 140,000, 61,000, 56,000, 35,000, and 23,500. The 35,000-dalton protein is the major species late in infection and is the only species detected before the onset of viral DNA replication. The arrangement of the sequences encoding these proteins along the herpes simplex virus type 2 genome was determined by hybridization of the RNA to cloned PstI fragment of BglII-N and to single-stranded DNA segments cloned into M13mp7. Both the hybridization experiments and immunoprecipitation with monoclonal antibodies suggested that the 140,000- and 35,000-dalton proteins are at least partially colinear and share antigenic determinants.  相似文献
