Host Cell Nucleolin Is Required To Maintain the Architecture of Human Cytomegalovirus Replication Compartments

open access: yesmBio, 2012
Drastic reorganization of the nucleus is a hallmark of herpesvirus replication. This reorganization includes the formation of viral replication compartments, the subnuclear structures in which the viral DNA genome is replicated.

Depletion of cellular pre-replication complex factors results in increased human cytomegalovirus DNA replication.

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Replication of Epstein-Barr Viral DNA [PDF]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2013
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a paradigm for human tumor viruses: it is the first virus recognized to cause cancer in people; it causes both lymphomas and carcinomas; yet these tumors arise infrequently given that most people in the world are infected with the virus. EBV is maintained extrachromosomally in infected normal and tumor cells.

Involvement of Host ATR-CHK1 Pathway in Hepatitis B Virus Covalently Closed Circular DNA Formation

open access: yesmBio, 2020
The covalently closed circular (CCC) DNA of hepatitis B virus (HBV) functions as the only viral transcriptional template capable of producing all viral RNA species and is essential to initiate and sustain viral replication.

Human DNA decays faster with time than viral dsDNA: an analysis on HPV16 using pathology archive samples spanning 85 years

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2021
Background Quality of the nucleic acids extracted from Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) samples largely depends on pre-analytic, fixation and storage conditions.

Chinese Giant Salamander Iridovirus 025L Is a Viral Essential Gene

open access: yesViruses, 2023
Ranavirus is a large nucleocytoplasmic DNA virus. Chinese giant salamander iridovirus (CGSIV) belongs to the ranavirus genus, and its replication involves a series of essential viral genes.

Topology of Viral DNA

open access: yes, 2010
Chromosome organization plays a key role in many biological processes. In viruses genome organization is essential for the packaging and releasing of the genome as well as for maintaining the stability of the viral capsid. This organization varies across different families and is highly dependent on the virus morphogenetic pathway (Casjens, 1997).

Force steps during viral DNA packaging? [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 2003
Biophysicists and structural biologists increasingly acknowledge the role played by the mechanical properties of macromolecules as a critical element in many biological processes. This change has been brought about, in part, by the advent of single molecule biophysics techniques that have made it possible to exert piconewton forces on key ...

Evolution of the AGMK1-9T7 GLI1+ progenitor cells to become tumor cells and potentially cancer-stem cells

open access: yesAdvances in Cancer Biology - Metastasis
We have investigated the expression of selected genes and miRNAs that have been found to be associated with human cancer-stem cells for their involvement in the neoplastic evolution of our AGMK1-9T7 cell line from a non-tumorigenic status at passage (p ...

ATRX promotes maintenance of herpes simplex virus heterochromatin during chromatin stress

open access: yeseLife, 2018
The mechanisms by which mammalian cells recognize and epigenetically restrict viral DNA are not well defined. We used herpes simplex virus with bioorthogonally labeled genomes to detect host factors recruited to viral DNA shortly after its nuclear entry ...
