Parallel Evolution of Chemokine Binding by Structurally Related Herpesvirus Decoy Receptors [PDF]

open access: yesStructure, 2016
A wide variety of pathogens targets chemokine signaling networks in order to disrupt host immune surveillance and defense. Here, we report a structural and mutational analysis of rodent herpesvirus Peru encoded R17, a potent chemokine inhibitor that sequesters CC and C chemokines with high affinity.

Molecular Evidence for Mother‐to‐Child Transmission of Kaposi Sarcoma–Associated Herpesvirus in Uganda and K1 Gene Evolution within the Host [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Infectious Diseases, 2006
Epidemiological studies of Kaposi sarcoma (KS)-related herpesvirus (KSHV) indicate that having a KSHV-seropositive mother is a risk factor for KSHV infection in children.We determined the KSHV K1 sequences in concordantly polymerase chain reaction-positive Ugandan mother-child pairs, to ascertain whether they shared the same viral strain.

Human Herpesvirus 8/Kaposi Sarcoma Herpesvirus Cell Association During Evolution of Kaposi Sarcoma

JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes, 2004
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is associated with a herpesvirus (HHV-8/KSHV), which expresses a latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA). The histopathology of KS is characterized by angiogenesis, inflammatory cells, and the development of CD34+ tumor spindle cells (SCs).

Molecular evolution of infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV; gallid herpesvirus 1): An ancient example of the Alphaherpesviridae?

Veterinary Microbiology, 1995
An analysis of two essential genes of infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV), glycoprotein D (gD) and the immediate early gene, herpes simplex virus homologue ICP27, was performed with the equivalent gene homologues from several alphaherpesviruses.

The Influence of Major Histocompatibility Complex and Vaccination with Turkey Herpesvirus on Marek's Disease Virus Evolution

Avian Diseases, 2015
Over the last five decades, the pathogenicity of the Marek's disease virus (MDV) has evolved from the relatively mild strains (mMDV) observed in the 1960s to the more severe very-virulent-plus strains currently observed in today's outbreaks. The use of vaccines to control Marek's disease (MD), but not the infection cycle, is thought to be the major ...

Evolution of the herpes thymidine kinase: identification and comparison of the equine herpesvirus 1 thymidine kinase gene reveals similarity to a cell-encoded thymidylate kinase [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 1988
We have identified the equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) thymidine kinase gene (TK) by DNA-mediated transformation and by DNA sequencing. Alignment of the amino acid sequence of the EHV-1 TK with the TKs from 3 other herpesviruses revealed regions of homology, some of which correspond to the previously identified substrate binding sites, while others have ...

Complete genome sequence and evolution analysis of a columbid herpesvirus type 1 from feral pigeon in China

Archives of Virology, 2017
Here, we report the genome sequence of a feral pigeon alphaherpesvirus (columbid herpesvirus type 1, CoHV-1), strain HLJ, and compare it with other avian alphaherpesviruses. The CoHV-1 strain HLJ genome is 204,237 bp in length and encodes approximately 130 putative protein-coding genes. Phylogenetically, CoHV-1 complete genome resides in a monophyletic

Elephant Endotheliotropic Herpesvirus-1A in Asian elephants; genomics, evolution and in vitro isolation

Elephant endotheliotropic herpesviruses (EEHVs) cause an acute haemorrhagic disease (HD) in juvenile Asian elephants (Elephas maximus), referred to as EEHV-HD. This disease is fatal in up to 80% of cases even with intensive supportive care. Since the virus discovery, no studies have explored the genetics contributing to the diversity of EEHVs.

The virion transmembrane proteome: a glance to the evolution and to the biology of Cyprinid herpesvirus 3

2017
Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3) is the etiological agent of a highly contagious and lethal disease affecting koi and common carp worldwide. Beyond its economic importance, this virus turned out to be an interesting subject for fundamental research and is currently considered as the archetype of Alloherpesviridae.
