  • A Historical Analysis of Herpes Simplex Virus Promoter Activation in Vivo Reveals Distinct Populations of Latently Infected Neurones
    Journal of General Virology (2008), 89, 2965–2974 DOI 10.1099/vir.0.2008/005066-0 A historical analysis of herpes simplex virus promoter activation in vivo reveals distinct populations of latently infected neurones Joa˜o T. Proenc¸a,1 Heather M. Coleman,1 Viv Connor,1 Douglas J. Winton2 and Stacey Efstathiou1 Correspondence 1Division of Virology, Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge, Tennis Court Road, S. Efstathiou Cambridge CB2 1QP, UK [email protected] 2Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research Institute, Li Ka Shing Centre, Robinson Way, Cambridge CB2 0RE, UK Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) has the capacity to establish a life-long latent infection in sensory neurones and also to periodically reactivate from these cells. Since mutant viruses defective for immediate-early (IE) expression retain the capacity for latency establishment it is widely assumed that latency is the consequence of a block in IE gene expression. However, it is not clear whether viral gene expression can precede latency establishment following wild-type virus infection. In order to address this question we have utilized a reporter mouse model system to facilitate a historical analysis of viral promoter activation in vivo. This system utilizes recombinant viruses expressing Cre recombinase under the control of different viral promoters and the Cre reporter mouse strain ROSA26R. In this model, viral promoter-driven Cre recombinase mediates a permanent genetic change, resulting in reporter gene activation and permanent marking of latently infected cells. The analyses of HSV-1 recombinants containing human cytomegalovirus major immediate-early, ICP0, gC or latency-associated transcript Received 20 June 2008 promoters linked to Cre recombinase in this system have revealed the existence of a population of Accepted 4 September 2008 neurones that have experienced IE promoter activation prior to the establishment of latency.

We especially focus on suc- cessful ability to evolutionarily adapt in the face of environmental change. Viruses are often challenged by dynamic environments, such as host immune function and evolved resistance as well as abiotic fluctuations in temperature, moisture, and other stressors that reduce virion stability. Despite these chal- lenges, our experimental evolution studies show that viruses can often readily adapt, and novel virus emergence in humans and other hosts is increasingly problematic. We additionally consider whether viruses are advantaged in evolvability—the capacity to evolve—and in avoidance of extinction. On the basis of these different ways of gauging biological success, we conclude that viruses are the most successful inhabitants of the biosphere.

Received: 17 December 2019; Accepted: 9 January 2020; Published: 14 January 2020 Abstract: White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), the lone virus of the genus Whispovirus under the family Nimaviridae, is one of the most devastating viruses affecting the shrimp farming industry. Knowledge about this virus, in particular, its evolution history, has been limited, partly due to its large genome and the lack of other closely related free-living viruses for comparative studies. In this study, we reconstructed a full-length endogenous nimavirus consensus genome, Nimav-1_LVa (279,905 bp), in the genome sequence of Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei breed Kehai No. 1 (ASM378908v1). This endogenous virus seemed to insert exclusively into the telomeric pentanucleotide microsatellite (TAACC/GGTTA)n. It encoded 117 putative genes, with some containing introns, such as g012 (inhibitor of apoptosis, IAP), g046 (crustacean hyperglycemic hormone, CHH), g155 (innexin), g158 (Bax inhibitor 1 like).

Received: 17 November 2019; Accepted: 31 December 2019; Published: 3 January 2020 Abstract: We report on a novel RNA virus infecting the wasp Lysiphlebus fabarum, a parasitoid of aphids. This virus, tentatively named “Lysiphlebus fabarum virus” (LysV), was discovered in transcriptome sequences of wasps from an experimental evolution study in which the parasitoids were allowed to adapt to aphid hosts (Aphis fabae) with or without resistance-conferring endosymbionts. Based on phylogenetic analyses of the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), LysV belongs to the Iflaviridae family in the order of the Picornavirales, with the closest known relatives all being parasitoid wasp-infecting viruses. We developed an endpoint PCR and a more sensitive qPCR assay to screen for LysV in field samples and laboratory lines. These screens verified the occurrence of LysV in wild parasitoids and identified the likely wild-source population for lab infections in Western Switzerland. Three viral haplotypes could be distinguished in wild populations, of which two were found in the laboratory.

Doctoral Dissertations. 1940. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/1940 ICP8 Self Interactions are Essential for HSV-1 Replication Compartment Formation Anthar S. Darwish, PhD University of Connecticut, 2018 ABSTRACT The objective of this thesis was to understand the ICP8 protein interactions involved during the formation of HSV-1 replication compartments. We focused our efforts on mapping the ICP8-ICP8 self-interactions that are involved in the formation of DNA independent filaments. We report here that the FNF motif (F1142, N1143 and F1144) and the FW motif (F843 and W844) are essential for ICP8 filament formation. Furthermore we observed a positive correlation between ICP8 filamentation and the formation of replication compartments. Mammalian expression plasmids bearing mutations in these motifs (FNF and FW) were unable to complement an ICP8 null virus for growth and replication compartment formation. We propose that filaments or other higher order structures of ICP8 may provide a scaffold onto which other proteins are recruited to form prereplicative sites and replication compartments. In an attempt to broaden our understanding of ICP8 self-interactions and its interactions with other essential viral proteins we searched for potential protein interaction sites on the surface of ICP8. Using the structural information of ICP8 and sequence comparison with homologous proteins, we identified conserved residues in the shoulder region (R262, H266, D270, E271, E274, Q706 and F707) of ICP8 that might function as protein interaction sites.

Boeke, New York University Langone Medical Center, New York, NY, and approved August 25, 2017 (received for review January 11, 2017) Here, we present a transformational approach to genome engineer- single modification with the BAC-based system takes weeks to ing of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), which has a large DNA complete. If multiple changes in the genome are desired, each genome, using synthetic genomics tools. We believe this method will must be made sequentially, greatly increasing the timeframe of enable more rapid and complex modifications of HSV-1 and other making mutant viruses. large DNA viruses than previous technologies, facilitating many The synthetic genomics assembly method described herein has useful applications. Yeast transformation-associated recombination many potential advantages over the BAC-based system (9). It is an was used to clone 11 fragments comprising the HSV-1 strain KOS application of existing tools to engineer large virus genomes and 152 kb genome.
