The herpes simplex virus (HSV) genome contains both cis- and trans-acting elements which are important in viral DNA replication. The cis-acting elements consist of three origins of replication: two copies of oriS and one copy of oriL. It has previously been shown that five cloned restriction fragments of HSV-1 DNA together can supply all of the trans-acting functions required for the replication of plasmids containing oriS or oriL when cotransfected into Vero cells (M. D. Challberg, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 83:9094-9098, 1986). These observations provide the basis for a complementation assay with which to locate all of the HSV sequences which encode trans-acting functions necessary for origin-dependent DNA replication. Using this assay in combination with the data from large-scale sequence analysis of the HSV-1 genome, we have now identified seven HSV genes which are necessary for transient replication of plasmids containing either oriS or oriL. As shown previously, two of these genes encode the viral DNA polymerase and single-stranded DNA-binding protein, which are known from conventional genetic analysis to be essential for viral DNA replication in infected cells. The functions of the products of the remaining five genes are unknown. We propose that the seven genes essential for plasmid replication comprise a set of genes whose products are directly involved in viral DNA synthesis. 相似文献

The herpes simplex virus type 1 genome contains three origins of DNA replication: two copies of oriS and one copy of oriL. Although oriS has been characterized extensively, characterization of oriL has been severely limited by the inability to amplify oriL sequences in an undeleted form in Escherichia coli. We report the successful cloning of intact oriL sequences in an E. coli strain, SURE, which contains mutations in a series of genes involved in independent DNA repair pathways shown to be important in the rearrangement and deletion of DNA containing irregular structures such as palindromes. The oriL-containing clones propagated in SURE cells contained no deletions, as determined by Southern blot hybridization and DNA sequence analysis, and were replication competent in transient DNA replication assays. Deletion of 400 bp of flanking sequences decreased the replication efficiency of oriL twofold in transient assays, demonstrating a role for flanking sequences in enhancing replication efficiency. Comparison of the replication efficiencies of an 822-bp oriS-containing plasmid and an 833-bp oriL-containing plasmid demonstrated that the kinetics of replication of the two plasmids were similar but that the oriL-containing plasmid replicated 60 to 70% as efficiently as the oriS-containing plasmid at both early and late times after infection with herpes simplex virus type 1. The virus-specified origin-binding protein (OBP) and a cellular factor(s) (OF-1) have been shown in gel mobility shift experiments to bind specific sequences in oriS (C.E. Dabrowski, P. Carmillo, and P.A. Schaffer, Mol. Cell. Biol. 14:2545-2555, 1994; C.E. Dabrowski and P.A. Schaffer, J. Virol. 65:3140-3150, 1991). Although the nucleotides required for the binding of OBP to OBP binding site I in oriL and oriS are the same, a single nucleotide difference distinguishes OBP binding site III in the two origins. The nucleotides adjacent to oriS sites I and III have been shown to be important for the binding of OF-1 to oriS site I. Several nucleotide differences exist in these sequences in oriL and oriS. Despite these minor nucleotide differences, the protein-DNA complexes that formed with oriL and oriS sites I and III were indistinguishable when extracts of infected and uninfected cells were used as the source of protein. Furthermore, the results of competition analysis suggest that the proteins involved in protein-DNA complex formation with sites I and III of the two origins are likely the same. 相似文献

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2 contain two classes of origins of DNA replication, oriS and oriL, which are closely related. A series of plasmids was constructed which contained specifically altered versions of the HSV type 2 oriS replication origin. Their ability to replicate in an in vivo replicon assay allowed a core origin of 75 base pairs (bp) to be defined. It included both arms of a 56-bp palindrome and from 13 to 20 bp of sequence leftward of the palindrome. The AT-rich sequence at the center of the palindrome was essential. Sequences on either side of the core origin enhanced replication. When additional copies of the -AT-dinucleotide were introduced progressively into the center of the palindrome, an oscillating effect on origin function was observed. These and other data implicate a linear rather than a cruciform conformation of the oriS palindrome in the initiation of HSV replication. 相似文献

The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) genome contains three origins of DNA replication, one copy of oriL and two copies of oriS. Although oriL and oriS are structurally different, they have extensive nucleotide sequence similarity and can substitute for each other to initiate viral DNA replication. A fundamental question that remains to be answered is why the HSV-1 genome contains two types of origin. We have recently identified a novel glucocorticoid response element (GRE) within oriL that is not present in oriS and have shown by gel mobility shift assays that purified glucocorticoid receptor (GR), as well as GR present in cellular extracts, can bind to the GRE in oriL. To determine whether glucocorticoids and the GRE affect the efficiency of oriL-dependent DNA replication, we performed transient DNA replication assays in the presence and absence of dexamethasone (DEX). Because HSV-1 is a neurotropic virus and establishes latency in cells of neural origin, these tests were conducted in PC12 cells, which assume the properties of sympathetic neurons when differentiated with nerve growth factor (NGF). In NGF-differentiated PC12 cells, oriL-dependent DNA replication was enhanced 5-fold by DEX, whereas in undifferentiated cells, DEX enhanced replication approximately 2-fold. Notably, the enhancement of oriL function by DEX was abolished when the GRE was mutated. NGF-induced differentiation alone had no effect. In contrast to oriL, oriS-dependent DNA replication was reduced approximately 5-fold in NGF-differentiated PC12 cells and an additional 4-fold in differentiated cells treated with DEX. In undifferentiated PC12 cells, DEX had only a minor inhibitory effect (approximately 2-fold) on oriS function. Although the cis-acting elements that mediate the NGF- and DEX-specific repression of oriS-dependent DNA replication are unknown, a functional GRE is critical for the DEX-induced enhancement of oriL function in NGF-differentiated PC12 cells. The enhancement of oriL-dependent DNA replication by DEX in differentiated PC12 cells suggests the possibility that glucocorticoids, agents long recognized to enhance reactivation of latent herpesvirus infections, act through the GRE in oriL to stimulate viral DNA replication and reactivation in terminally differentiated neurons in vivo. 相似文献

In vitro studies of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) viruses containing mutations in core sequences of the viral origins of DNA replication, oriL and oriS, that eliminate the ability of these origins to initiate viral-DNA synthesis have demonstrated little or no effect on viral replication in cultured cells, leading to the conclusion that the two types of origins are functionally redundant. It remains unclear, therefore, why origins that appear to be redundant are maintained evolutionarily in HSV-1 and other neurotropic alphaherpesviruses. To test the hypothesis that oriL and oriS have distinct functions in the HSV-1 life cycle in vivo, we determined the in vivo phenotypes of two mutant viruses, DoriL-I(LR) and DoriS-I, containing point mutations in oriL and oriS site I, respectively, that eliminate origin DNA initiation function. Following corneal inoculation of mice, tear film titers of DoriS-I were reduced relative to wild-type virus. In all other tests, however, DoriS-I behaved like wild-type virus. In contrast, titers of DoriL-I(LR) in tear film, trigeminal ganglia (TG), and hindbrain were reduced and mice infected with DoriL-I(LR) exhibited greatly reduced mortality relative to wild-type virus. In the TG explant and TG cell culture models of reactivation, DoriL-I(LR) reactivated with delayed kinetics and, in the latter model, with reduced efficiency relative to wild-type virus. Rescuant viruses DoriL-I(LR)-R and DoriS-I-R behaved like wild-type virus in all tests. These findings demonstrate that functional differences exist between oriL and oriS and reveal a prominent role for oriL in HSV-1 pathogenesis. 相似文献

Initiation of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) DNA replication during productive infection of fibroblasts and epithelial cells requires attachment of the origin binding protein (OBP), one of seven essential virus-encoded DNA replication proteins, to specific sequences within the two viral origins, oriL and oriS. Whether initiation of DNA replication during reactivation of HSV-1 from neuronal latency also requires OBP is not known. A truncated protein, consisting of the C-terminal 487 amino acids of OBP, termed OBPC, is the product of the HSV UL8.5 gene and binds to origin sequences, although OBPC's role in HSV DNA replication is not yet clear. To characterize protein-DNA complex formation at oriS in cells of neural and nonneural lineage, we used nuclear extracts of HSV-infected nerve growth factor-differentiated PC12 and Vero cells, respectively, as the source of protein in gel shift assays. In both cell types, three complexes (complexes A, B, and C) which contain either OBP or OBPC were shown to bind specifically to a probe which contains the highest-affinity OBP binding site in oriS, site 1. Complex A was shown to contain OBPC exclusively, whereas complexes B and C contained OBP and likely other cellular proteins. By fine-mapping the binding sites of these three complexes, we identified single nucleotides which, when mutated, eliminated formation of all three complexes, or complexes B and C, but not A. In transient DNA replication assays, both mutations significantly impaired oriS-dependent DNA replication, demonstrating that formation of OBP-containing complexes B and C is required for efficient initiation of oriS-dependent DNA replication, whereas formation of the OBPC-containing complex A is insufficient for efficient initiation. 相似文献

The complete DNA sequence of herpes B virus (Cercopithecine herpesvirus 1) strain E2490, isolated from a rhesus macaque, was determined. The total genome length is 156,789 bp, with 74.5% G+C composition and overall genome organization characteristic of alphaherpesviruses. The first and last residues of the genome were defined by sequencing the cloned genomic termini. There were six origins of DNA replication in the genome due to tandem duplication of both oriL and oriS regions. Seventy-four genes were identified, and sequence homology to proteins known in herpes simplex viruses (HSVs) was observed in all cases but one. The degree of amino acid identity between B virus and HSV proteins ranged from 26.6% (US5) to 87.7% (US15). Unexpectedly, B virus lacked a homolog of the HSV gamma(1)34.5 gene, which encodes a neurovirulence factor. Absence of this gene was verified in two low-passage clinical isolates derived from a rhesus macaque and a zoonotically infected human. This finding suggests that B virus most likely utilizes mechanisms distinct from those of HSV to sustain efficient replication in neuronal cells. Despite the considerable differences in G+C content of the macaque and B virus genes (51% and 74.2%, respectively), codons used by B virus are optimal for the tRNA population of macaque cells. Complete sequence of the B virus genome will certainly facilitate identification of the genetic basis and possible molecular mechanisms of enhanced B virus neurovirulence in humans, which results in an 80% mortality rate following zoonotic infection. 相似文献

During serial passages of Herpes simplex virus (HSV) at high multiplicity of infection, virions containing defective viral DNA accumulate in the progeny. The defective DNA molecules are made up by repeats of restricted portions of the standard viral genome. Two different classes of defective DNA derived from HSV-1 Angelotti (ANG) in independent series of high MOI-passages were studied. The nucleotide sequences contained in the defective DNA were localized on the parental viral genome. One of the two classes contained sequences from non-contiguous sites mapping in unique and in redundant regions of the parental DNA, whereas the second class apparently originates from the S-terminal redundant region of the parental DNA. The localization of defective DNA sequences was complicated by the fact that there exists sequence homology between the S-terminal redundancy and various unique DNA sequences in the L-segment of the HSV-1 ANG genome. 相似文献

The UL9 protein of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) binds specifically to the HSV-1 oriS and oriL origins of replication, and is a DNA helicase and DNA-dependent NTPase. In this study electron microscopy was used to investigate the binding of UL9 protein to DNA fragments containing oriS. In the absence of ATP, UL9 protein was observed to bind specifically to oriS as a dimer or pair of dimers, which bent the DNA by 35 degrees +/- 15 degrees and 86 degrees +/- 38 degrees respectively, and the DNA was deduced to make a straight line path through the protein complex. In the presence of 4 mM ATP, binding at oriS was enhanced 2-fold, DNA loops or stem-loops were extruded from the UL9 protein complex at oriS, and the DNA in them frequently appeared highly condensed into a tight rod. The stem-loops contained from a few hundred to over one thousand base pairs of DNA and in most, oriS was located at their apex, although in some, oriS was at a border. The DNA in the stem-loops could be stabilized by photocrosslinking, and when Escherichia coli SSB protein was added to the incubations, it bound the stem-loops strongly. Thus the DNA strands in the stem-loops exist in a partially paired, partially single-stranded state presumably making them available for ICP8 binding in vivo. These observations provide direct evidence for an origin specific unwinding by the HSV-1 UL9 protein and for the formation of a relatively stable four-stranded DNA in this process. 相似文献

The herpes simplex virus type 1 genome (160 kilobases) contains three origins of DNA synthesis: two copies of oriS located within the repeated sequences flanking the short unique arm (US), and one copy of oriL located within the long unique arm (UL). Precise localization and characterization of oriL have been severely hampered by the inability to clone sequences which contain it (coordinates 0.398 to 0.413) in an undeleted form in bacteria. We report herein the successful cloning of sequences between 0.398 to 0.413 in an undeleted form, using a yeast cloning vector. Sequence analysis of a 425-base pair fragment spanning the deletion-prone region has revealed a perfect 144-base pair palindrome with striking homology to oriS. In a functional assay, the undeleted clone was amplified when functions from herpes simplex virus type 1 were supplied in trans, whereas clones with deletions of 55 base pairs or more were not amplified. 相似文献

About half of the spontaneous petite mutants produced by wild-type Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain B (as well as by several other strains) have the same defective mitochondrial genome. Its repeat unit is a segment, 2200 base pairs (bp) long, which derives from an excision between the origins of replication ori 2 and ori 7 of the wild-type genome, and contains a hybrid ori 2-ori 7 sequence. The spontaneous petites carrying this defective ori.h genome are supersuppressive , i.e., they very rapidly compete out the wild-type genome in crosses. The main reasons for the exceptional frequency of ori.h petites are an extremely high excision frequency, due to the extended homology between the two tandemly oriented ori sequences 265 bp long and the short distance separating them. Such an excision frequency is very strongly increased in petite genomes encompassing the ori 2-ori 7 region, because of their higher concentration in these ori sequences. 相似文献

Plasmids containing the simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication origin and the large T gene are replicated efficiently in Vero monkey cells but not in rabbit skin cells. Efficient replication of the plasmids was observed in rabbit skin cells infected with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and HSV-2. The HSV-induced replication required the large T antigen and the SV40 replication origin. However, it produced concatemeric molecules resembling replicative intermediates of HSV DNA and was sensitive to phosphonoacetate at concentrations known to inhibit the HSV DNA polymerase. Therefore, it involved the HSV DNA polymerase itself or a viral gene product(s) which was expressed following the replication of HSV DNA. Analyses of test plasmids lacking SV40 or HSV DNA sequences showed that, under some conditions, HSV also induced low-level replication of test plasmids containing no known eucaryotic replication origins. Together, these results show that HSV induces a DNA replicative activity which amplifies foreign DNA. The relevance of these findings to the putative transforming potential of HSV is discussed. 相似文献

Densely methylated DNA sequence islands, designated DMIs, have been observed in two Chinese hamster cell chromosomal replication origins by using a PCR-based chemical method of detection. One of the origins, oriS14, is located within or adjacent to the coding sequence for ribosomal protein S14 on chromosome 2q, and the other, ori-beta, is approximately 17 kbp downstream of the dhfr (dihydrofolic acid reductase) locus on chromosome 2p. The DMI in oriS14 is 127 bp long, and the DMI in ori-beta is 516 bp long. Both DMIs are bilaterally methylated (i.e., all dCs are modified to 5-methyl dC) only in cells that are replicating their DNA. When cell growth and DNA replication are arrested, methylation of CpA, CpT, and CpC dinucleotides is lost and the sequence islands display only a subset of their originally methylated CpG dinucleotides. Several possible roles for DMI-mediated regulation of mammalian chromosomal origins are considered. 相似文献

The origin binding protein (OBP) of herpes simplex virus type 1 is required to activate a viral origin of replication in vivo. We have used intact OBP as well as a truncated form of the protein expressed in Escherichia coli to investigate the protein-protein interactions, as well as the protein-DNA interactions involved in the formation of a nucleoprotein complex at a viral origin of replication (oriS) in vitro. The salient findings demonstrate that the N-terminal part of OBP is required for the cooperative binding of OBP to three sites (boxes I, II, and III) within oriS. A detailed model for the interaction of OBP with the viral origins of replication oriS and oriL is presented. 相似文献
