  • Adenovirus Replication Is Coupltd E with the Dynamic Propernes of PML Nuclear Structure
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on October 5, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Adenovirus replication is coupltd e with the dynamic propernes of PML nuclear structure Vassilis Doucas, 1,s Alexander M. Ishov, 2 Anthony Romo, 1 Henry Juguilon, l'a Matthew D. Weitzman, 4 Ronald M. Evans, 1'3 and Gerd G. Maul 2 ~The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, La Jolla, California 92037; 2Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104; 3Howard Hughes Medical Institute, 4Institute for Human Gene Therapy, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104 USA Wild-type PML and at least four other novel proteins are localized within discrete nuclear structures known as PODs. We demonstrate here that during adenovirus infection, immediate early viral proteins from the E1 and E4 transcription units associate with the POD, which in turn undergoes a dramatic morphological change. During this process, the auto-antigen Sp-100 and NDP55 but not PML, relocate from the POD to the viral inclusion bodies, the sites of adenovirus DNA replication and late RNA transcription. The E4-ORF3 11-kD protein alone will induce this reorganization and reciprocally, viruses carrying mutations in the E4-domain fail to do so. These same viral mutants are defective in viral replication as well as the accumulation of late viral mRNAs and host cell transcription shutoff. We show that interferon (INF) treatment enhances the expression of PML, reduces or blocks PODs reorganization, and inhibits BrdU incorporation into viral inclusion bodies. In addition, cell lines engineered to overexpress PML prevent PODs from viral-induced reorganization and block or severely delay adenovirns replication.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ This manuscript is made available for research purposes.

    Harold S. Ginsberg 1917–2003 A Biographical Memoir by Arnold J. Levine ©2014 National Academy of Sciences. Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. HAROLD SAMUEL GINSBERG May 27, 1917–February 2, 2003 Elected to the NAS, 1982 Harry Ginsberg was one of the founders of modern virology. He began his career with research in epidemi- ology, describing the pathogenesis of viral infections, the course of infections, and their outcomes. This was followed by the isolation of novel viruses. Harry was associated with the identification of several adenovirus serotypes that caused acute respiratory diseases, atypical pneumonia, and respiratory illnesses common to children. His lifelong study of the adenoviruses made this group of viruses one of the most intensively explored and better understood classes of viruses. Having identified the adenoviruses and their pathogenic consequences, Harry changed his research direction, By Arnold J. Levine helping to create the field of the molecular biology of animal viruses. His research uncovered each of the phases of viral replication, and he was among the first to apply chemotherapy to interrupt virus replication and prevent pathogenesis. In addition, he studied how a virus could inhibit the synthesis of cellular RNA and proteins and how viruses redirected cellular metabolism for the propagation of these agents. H e then changed his research direction for a third time, employing molecular genetics to uncover the functions of adenovirus genes and their regulation. As it became clear that some adenovirus serotypes could cause cancers in animals, Harry’s research group prepared the antiserum from tumor-bearing animals to unravel the viral tumor antigens.

  • Genealogy and Diversification of the AIDS Virus
    I Diversification of the AIDS Virus Gerald L. Myers, C. Randal Limier, and Kersti A. MacInnes T disease, caught the world by surprise—so much so that the virus that causes AIDS (the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV) was suspected by some of being an instrument of biological warfare or an accident of genetic engineering. HIV is now almost universally accepted as no more than another creation of evolution, but defini- tive information about its evolutionary past, present, and future is still lacking. What was the more benign or more confined progen- itor of HIV? What is its relationship to other viruses with similar physical or pathological properties? How rapidly do variations of HIV evolve? What more pernicious forms might yet appear? 41 Genealogy of the AIDS Virus EVOLUTIONARY RELATIONSHIPS AMONG RETROVIRUSES Equine Infectious Anemia Virus Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis Virus Such questions are being addressed Lentiviruses by analyzing the characteristics of HIV at the molecular level, as the following Visna example illustrates. HIV is a retrovirus Virus and as such has a genome composed of RNA rather than DNA (see “Viruses and Their Lifestyles”). The first step Human in the replication of a retrovirus is syn- immuno- thesis of DNA from the RNA template deficiency Virus provided by the viral genome. That synthesis is catalyzed by enzymes— reverse transcriptases—that are virtually unique to retroviruses. Likely evolution- Simian ary relationships among HIV and other Retrovirus disease-causing retroviruses have been deduced from the differences among the sequences of amino acids that compose their reverse transcriptases. The same has also been done for retroviruses by focusing on their proteases, enzymes Virus common to all organisms and essential Oncoviruses to the breakdown of other proteins.
