The elongation of primed DNA templates by DNA polymerase delta and epsilon requires the action of the accessory proteins, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and replication factor C (RFC). Replication factor C, also called activator 1, is a protein complex consisting of five distinct subunits. This gene encodes the 40 kD subunit, which has been shown to be responsible for binding ATP and may help promote cell survival. Disruption of this gene is associated with Williams syndrome.

Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Oril Is Not Required for Virus Infection In

ORBERG, AND PRISCILLA A. SCHAFFER* Laboratory of Tumor Virus Genetics, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115 Received 11 May 1987/Accepted 31 July 1987 During the course of experiments designed to isolate deletion mutants of herpes simplex virus type 1 in the gene encoding the major DNA-binding protein, ICP8, a mutant, d61, that grew efficiently in ICP8-expressing Vero cells but not in normal Vero cells was isolated (P. K. Orberg and P. A. Schaffer, J. Virol. 61:1136-1146, 1987). d61 was derived by cotransfection of ICP8-expressing Vero cells with infectious wild-type viral DNA and a plasmid, pDX, that contains an engineered 780-base-pair (bp) deletion in the ICP8 gene, as well as a spontaneous -55-bp deletion in OriL. Gel electrophoresis and Southern blot analysis indicated that d61 DNA carried both deletions present in pDX. The ability of d61 to replicate despite the deletion in OriL suggested that a functional OriL is not essential for virus replication in vitro. Because d61 harbored two mutations, a second mutant, ts+7, with a deletion in oriL-associated sequences and an intact ICP8 gene was constructed. Both d61 and ts+7 replicated efficiently in their respective permissive host cells, although their yields were slightly lower than those of control viruses with intact oriL sequences. -

Viroporins represent an interesting group of viral proteins that exhibit two sets of functions. First, they participate in several viral processes that are necessary for efficient production of virus progeny. Besides, viroporins interfere with a number of cellular functions, thus contributing to viral cytopathogenicity. Twenty years have elapsed from the first review on viroporins [1]; since then several reviews have covered the advances on viroporin structure and functioning [2–8]. This Special Issue updates and revises new emerging roles of viroporins, highlighting their potential use as antiviral targets and in vaccine development. Viroporin structure. Viroporins are usually short proteins with at least one hydrophobic amphipathic helix. Homo-oligomerization is achieved by helix–helix interactions in membranes rendering higher order structures, forming aqueous pores. Progress in viroporin structures during the last 2–3 years has in some instances provided a detailed knowledge of their functional architecture, including the fine definition of binding sites for effective inhibitors. -
How Influenza Virus Uses Host Cell Pathways During Uncoating

The influenza A virus genome consists of eight single-stranded RNA segments sequestered within a protein capsid and a lipid bilayer envelope. During host cell entry, cellular cues contribute to viral conformational changes that promote critical events such as fusion with late endosomes, capsid uncoating and viral genome release into the cytosol. In this focused review, we concisely describe the virus infection cycle and highlight the recent findings of host cell pathways and cytosolic proteins that assist influenza uncoating during host cell entry.

HSV-1-encoded ICP5, the major capsid protein, is essential for capsid assembly during viral replication. Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification that plays a critical role in the regulation of cellular events such as proteasomal degradation, protein trafficking, and the antiviral response and viral events such as the establishment of infection and viral replication. Ub-activating enzyme (E1, also named UBE1) is involved in the first step in the ubiquitination. However, it is still unknown whether UBE1 contributes to viral infection or the cellular antiviral response. Here, we found that UBE1a suppressed HSV-1 replication and contributed to the antiviral response. The UBE1a inhibitor PYR-41 increased HSV-1 production. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that UBE1a highly expressing cells presented low ICP5 expression, and vice versa. UBE1a inhibition by PYR-41 and shRNA increased ICP5 expression in HSV-1-infected cells.
