Rescue of a herpes simplex virus type 1 neurovirulence function with a cloned DNA fragment. 总被引:13,自引:10,他引:3 下载免费PDF全文
A herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) genetic function that is required for viral replication in the murine central nervous system was unambiguously localized. Thus, cosmid clones of either HSV-1 HindIII fragment C (0.64 to 0.87 map units) or fragment B (0.64 to 0.83 plus 0.91 to 1.0 map units) were employed to restore neurovirulence to an intertypic recombinant (RE6) that is specifically deficient in this property. The neurovirulent recombinants were generated in cell culture by cotransfecting the clone fragments and unit-length RE6 DNA and then selected in mouse brains. Either fragment efficiently conferred neurovirulence to RE6, demonstrating that no short region unique sequences are required. Analyses of the genomic structures of the neurovirulent recombinants showed that, in every case, HSV-1 information from 0.71 to 0.83 map units was incorporated into the RE6 genome. Cleavage of HindIII fragment C with EcoRI eliminated its capacity to rescue RE6. Virulence could be restored by the addition of HSV-1 BamHI fragment L (0.71 to 0.74 map units) that spans an EcoRI site at 0.72 map units. The precise location of this HSV-1 neurovirulence function is discussed. 相似文献

Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) protein ICP27 enables viral mRNA export by accessing the cellular mRNA export receptor TAP/NXF, which guides mRNA through the nuclear pore complex. ICP27 binds viral mRNAs and interacts with TAP/NXF, providing a link to the cellular mRNA export pathway. ICP27 also interacts with the mRNA export adaptor protein Aly/REF, which binds cellular mRNAs and also interacts with TAP/NXF. Studies using small interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown indicated that Aly/REF is not required for cellular mRNA export, and similar knockdown studies during HSV-1 infection led us to conclude that Aly/REF may be dispensable for viral RNA export. Recently, the structural basis of the interaction of ICP27 with Aly/REF was elucidated at atomic resolution, and it was shown that three ICP27 residues, W105, R107, and L108, interface with the RNA recognition motif (RRM) domain of Aly/REF. Here, to determine the role the interaction of ICP27 and Aly/REF plays during infection, these residues were mutated to alanine, and a recombinant virus, WRL-A, was constructed. Virus production was reduced about 10-fold during WRL-A infection, and export of ICP27 protein and most viral mRNAs was less efficient. We conclude that interaction of ICP27 with Aly/REF contributes to efficient viral mRNA export. 相似文献

In the Americas, areas with a high risk of malaria transmission are mainly located in
the Amazon Forest, which extends across nine countries. One keystone step to
understanding the Plasmodium life cycle in Anopheles species from the Amazon Region
is to obtain experimentally infected mosquito vectors. Several attempts to colonise
Ano- pheles species have been conducted, but with only short-lived success or no
success at all. In this review, we review the literature on malaria transmission from
the perspective of its Amazon vectors. Currently, it is possible to develop
experimental Plasmodium vivax infection of the colonised and field-captured vectors
in laboratories located close to Amazonian endemic areas. We are also reviewing
studies related to the immune response to P. vivax infection of Anopheles aquasalis,
a coastal mosquito species. Finally, we discuss the importance of the modulation of
Plasmodium infection by the vector microbiota and also consider the anopheline
genomes. The establishment of experimental mosquito infections with Plasmodium
falciparum, Plasmodium yoelii and Plasmodium berghei parasites that could provide
interesting models for studying malaria in the Amazonian scenario is important.
Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of the parasites
in New World vectors is crucial in order to better determine the interaction process
and vectorial competence. 相似文献

Structure based virtual screening of ligands to identify cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 antagonist
Srinivas Bandaru Vijaya Kumar Marri Priyadarshani Kasera Purnima Kovuri Amandeep Girdhar Deepti Raj Mittal Sabeen Ikram Ravi GV Anuraj Nayarisseri 《Bioinformation》2014,10(10):652-657
Montelukast and Zafirlukast are known leukotriene receptor antagonists prescribed in asthma treatment. However, these fall short
as mono therapy and are frequently used in combination with inhaled glucocorticosteroids with or without long acting beta 2
agonists. Therefore, it is of interest to apply ligand and structure based virtual screening strategies to identify compounds akin to
lead compounds Montelukast and Zafirlukast. Hence, compounds with structures having 95% similarity to these compounds were
retrieved from NCBI׳s PubChem database. Compounds similar to lead were grouped and docked at the antagonist binding site of
cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1. This exercise identified compounds UNII 70RV86E50Q (Pub Cid 71587778) and Sure CN 9587085
(Pub Cid 19793614) with higher predicted binding compared to Montelukast and Zafirlukast. It is shown that the compound Sure
CN 9587085 showed appreciable ligand receptor interaction compared to UNII 70RV86E50Q. Thus, the compound Sure CN
9587085 is selected as a potent antagonist to cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 for further consideration in vitro and in vivo validation. 相似文献

Functional and molecular analyses of the avirulent wild-type herpes simplex virus type 1 strain KOS. 总被引:21,自引:19,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
It has been documented that KOS, a laboratory strain of herpes simplex virus type 1, is several orders of magnitude less neurovirulent than most other wild-type strains. Studies initiated to determine the functional nature of the block to neuroinvasiveness and to establish the genes involved have determined that, after footpad inoculation of mice, strain 17 syn+ induced neuropathologic signs (paralysis) at titers of 10(2) and yielded a PFU/50% lethal dose ratio of 10(4). In contrast, KOS was not lethal and did not induce paralysis at inoculation doses of 10(8) PFU. This reduced neurovirulence of KOS could not be explained by the lack of thymidine kinase activity, its inability to replicate in mouse cells maintained in culture at 38.5 degrees C, or its inefficient replication in nonneural tissues in vivo. Kinetic experiments tracing the virus through the nervous system after footpad inoculation showed that KOS was blocked at the level of the spinal ganglia. A cosmid library of strain 17 syn+ was utilized in recombination and in vivo selection experiments with strain KOS to establish the genomic region involved in 17 syn+ neuroinvasiveness. A cosmid clone containing the HindIII A fragment (0.25 to 0.53 map units) of strain 17 syn+ in mixed transfections with full-length KOS DNA yielded recombinants with enhanced neuroinvasiveness. 相似文献
