DNA vaccines for viral diseases [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999 DNA plasmids encoding foreign proteins may be used as immunogens by direct intramuscular injection alone, or with various adjuvants and excipients, or by delivery of DNA-coated gold particles to the epidermis through biolistic immunization.

Modulation of the functional interfaces between retroviral intasomes and the human nucleosome
mBio, 2023 Infection by retroviruses as HIV-1 requires the stable integration of their genome into the host cells. This process needs the formation of integrase (IN)-viral DNA complexes, called intasomes, and their interaction with the target DNA wrapped around ...

Replication Compartments—The Great Survival Strategy for Epstein–Barr Virus Lytic Replication
Microorganisms, 2022 During Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) lytic replication, viral DNA synthesis is carried out in viral replication factories called replication compartments (RCs), which are located at discrete sites in the nucleus.

HSV-1 DNA Replication—Coordinated Regulation by Viral and Cellular Factors
Viruses, 2021 DNA replication is an integral step in the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) life cycle that is coordinated with the cellular DNA damage response, repair and recombination of the viral genome, and viral gene transcription.

npj Vaccines, 2021 Avian influenza A(H7N9) epidemics have a fatality rate of approximately 40%. Previous studies reported that low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI)-derived candidate vaccine viruses (CVVs) are poorly immunogenic.

Continuous Influx of Genetic Material from Host to Virus Populations. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2016 Many genes of large double-stranded DNA viruses have a cellular origin, suggesting that host-to-virus horizontal transfer (HT) of DNA is recurrent. Yet, the frequency of these transfers has never been assessed in viral populations.

Virus discovery in all three major lineages of terrestrial arthropods highlights the diversity of single-stranded DNA viruses associated with invertebrates [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Viruses encoding a replication-associated protein (Rep) within a covalently closed, single-stranded (ss)DNA genome are among the smallest viruses known to infect eukaryotic organisms, including economically valuable agricultural crops and livestock ...

Depletion of cellular pre-replication complex factors results in increased human cytomegalovirus DNA replication. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Although HCMV encodes many genes required for the replication of its DNA genome, no HCMV-encoded orthologue of the origin binding protein, which has been identified in other herpesviruses, has been identified.

SV40 utilizes ATM kinase activity to prevent non-homologous end joining of broken viral DNA replication products. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Simian virus 40 (SV40) and cellular DNA replication rely on host ATM and ATR DNA damage signaling kinases to facilitate DNA repair and elicit cell cycle arrest following DNA damage.
