Human Cytomegalovirus UL34 Early and late Proteins Are Essential for Viral Replication
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 ...

Infection of apple by apple stem grooving virus leads to extensive alterations in gene expression patterns but no disease symptoms. [PDF]
To understand the molecular basis of viral diseases, transcriptome profiling has been widely used to correlate host gene expression change patterns with disease symptoms during viral infection in many plant hosts. We used infection of apple by Apple stem

Cell type specific and viral regulation of visna virus gene expression
Regulation of gene expression of visna virus and other lentiviruses in vivo and in vitro is dependent on both cellular and viral factors. Differentiation and activation of the target cell is essential for transcriptional activation of the viruses. The cellular factors then activate viral transcription and expression of viral genes and viral regulatory ...

Visna virus encodes a post-transcriptional regulator of viral structural gene expression [PDF]
Visna virus is an ungulate lentivirus that is distantly related to the primate lentiviruses, including human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Replication of HIV-1 and of other complex primate retroviruses, including human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I), requires the expression in trans of a virally encoded post-transcriptional activator of

Regulation of Viral Intermediate Gene Expression by the Vaccinia Virus B1 Protein Kinase [PDF]
ABSTRACT The B1 gene of vaccinia virus encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that is expressed early after infection. Under nonpermissive conditions, temperature-sensitive mutants ( ts 2 and ts 25) that map to B1 fail to efficiently replicate viral DNA.

Negative regulation of interferon-β gene expression during acute and persistent virus infections. [PDF]
The production of type I interferons (IFNs) in response to viral infections is critical for antiviral immunity. However, IFN production is transient, and continued expression can lead to inflammatory or autoimmune diseases.

The Unique IR2 Protein of Equine Herpesvirus 1 Negatively Regulates Viral Gene Expression [PDF]
ABSTRACT The IR2 protein (IR2P) is a truncated form of the immediate-early protein (IEP) lacking the essential acidic transcriptional activation domain (TAD) and serine-rich tract and yet retaining binding domains for DNA and TFIIB and nuclear localization signal (NLS).

Herpes simplex virus 1 ICP22 inhibits the transcription of viral gene promoters by binding to and blocking the recruitment of P-TEFb. [PDF]
ICP22 is a multifunctional herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) immediate early protein that functions as a general repressor of a subset of cellular and viral promoters in transient expression systems.

Optimization of the Tet-On system for regulated gene expression through viral evolution [PDF]
The ability to control (trans)gene expression is important both for basic biological research and applications such as gene therapy. In vivo use of the inducible tetracycline (Tc)-regulated gene expression system (Tet-On system) is limited by its low sensitivity for the effector doxycycline (dox).

YTHDF1 and YTHDC1 m6A reader proteins regulate HTLV-1 tax and hbz activity
Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is a retrovirus responsible for adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), a progressive neurodegenerative disease.
