The Core Histone-binding Region of the Murine Cytomegalovirus 89K Immediate Early Protein [PDF]
The gene regulatory immediate early protein, pp89, of murine cytomegalovirus interacts with both DNA-associated and isolated histones in vitro. We characterized the histone-binding region of pp89 and its cellular localization during cell division to examine the possible interaction between pp89 and chromatin.

Critical Role for the Human Cytomegalovirus Major Immediate Early Proteins in Recruitment of RNA Polymerase II and H3K27Ac To an Enhancer-Like Element in OriLyt. [PDF]
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an opportunistic pathogen that infects most of the population. The complex 236 kbp genome encodes more than 170 open reading frames, whose expression is temporally regulated by both viral transcriptional regulators and ...

Inhibition of IFN-γ Signaling by an Epstein-Barr Virus Immediate-Early Protein [PDF]
AbstractViruses have evolved elaborate mechanisms to target many aspects of the host's immune response. The cytokine IFN-γ plays a central role in resistance of the host to infection via direct antiviral effects as well as modulation of the immune response.

Killer cell proteases can target viral immediate-early proteins to control human cytomegalovirus infection in a noncytotoxic manner. [PDF]
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most frequent viral cause of congenital defects and can trigger devastating disease in immune-suppressed patients. Cytotoxic lymphocytes (CD8+ T cells and NK cells) control HCMV infection by releasing interferon-γ and ...

The human cytomegalovirus major immediate-early proteins as antagonists of intrinsic and innate antiviral host responses. [PDF]
The major immediate-early (IE) gene of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is believed to have a decisive role in acute infection and its activity is an important indicator of viral reactivation from latency.

Non-covalent Interaction With SUMO Enhances the Activity of Human Cytomegalovirus Protein IE1
Viruses interact with the host cellular pathways to optimize cellular conditions for replication. The Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) Immediate-Early protein 1 (IE1) is the first viral protein to express during infection.

Inhibition of IKKα by BAY61-3606 Reveals IKKα-Dependent Histone H3 Phosphorylation in Human Cytomegalovirus Infected Cells. [PDF]
Protein kinase inhibitors can be used as tools to identify proteins and pathways required for virus replication. Using virus replication assays and western blotting we found that the widely used protein kinase inhibitor BAY61-3606 inhibits replication of

A novel method for tracking structural changes in gels using widely accessible microcomputed tomography is presented and validated for various hydro‐, alco‐, and aerogels. The core idea of the method is to track positions of micrometer‐sized tracer particles entrapped in the gel and relate them to the density of the gel network.
