Human Cytomegalovirus UL34 Early and late Proteins Are Essential for Viral Replication
Viruses, 2014 UL34 is one of the ~50 genes of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) required for replication in cell culture in human fibroblasts. UL34 encodes highly related early (UL34a) and late (UL34b) proteins that are virtually identical, with the early protein ...

Retrovirology, 2005 Background In addition to mediating the integration process, HIV-1 integrase (IN) has also been implicated in different steps during viral life cycle including reverse transcription and viral DNA nuclear import. Although the karyophilic property of HIV-1

Packaging of viral RNAs in virions of adenoviruses
Virology Journal, 2009 Earlier, we detected viral RNAs packaged in the porcine adenovirus (PAdV) -3 virions. Using Southern blot analysis, we further demonstrated that the viral RNAs were predominantly packaged in CsCl purified mature capsids (containing viral genome) than ...

Viral interferon antagonists and antiviral drugs [PDF]
, 2009 For this project, we developed reporter cell lines that express viral proteins with the potential to be used in cell-based screening assays to select chemical candidates for antiviral drugs.

Brd4 is displaced from HPV replication factories as they expand and amplify viral DNA.
PLoS Pathogens, 2013 Replication foci are generated by many viruses to concentrate and localize viral DNA synthesis to specific regions of the cell. Expression of the HPV16 E1 and E2 replication proteins in keratinocytes results in nuclear foci that recruit proteins ...

Different patterns of HIV-1 DNA after therapy discontinuation
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2005 Background By persisting in infected cells for a long period of time, proviral HIV-1 DNA can represent an alternative viral marker to RNA viral load during the follow-up of HIV-1 infected individuals.

Characterization of the hepatitis B virus DNA detected in urine of chronic hepatitis B patients
BMC Gastroenterology, 2018 Background Detection of human hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in the urine of patients with chronic hepatitis B infection (CHB) has been reported previously, suggesting urine could provide a potential route of horizontal HBV transmission.

NEDDylation is essential for Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus latency and lytic reactivation and represents a novel anti-KSHV target. [PDF]
, 2015 Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the causative agent of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), which are aggressive malignancies associated with immunocompromised patients.

Human Papillomaviruses in Buschke-Lowenstein Tumors: Physical State of the DNA and Identification of a Tandem Duplication in the Noncoding Region of a Human Papillomavirus 6 Subtype [PDF]
, 1986 Six Buschke-Löwenstein tumors, i.e., highly differentiated squamous cell tumors of the genital region, were shown to contain human papillomavirus 6 (HPV 6) or HPV 11 genomes.

Viral Genomic DNA Packaging Machinery
Tailed double-stranded DNA bacteriophage employs a protein terminase motor to package their genome into a preformed protein shell-a system shared with eukaryotic dsDNA viruses such as herpesviruses. DNA packaging motor proteins represent excellent targets for antiviral therapy, with Letermovir, which binds Cytomegalovirus terminase, already licensed as
