A nonstructural polypeptide encoded by immediate-early transcription unit 1 of murine cytomegalovirus is recognized by cytolytic T lymphocytes [PDF]
We have constructed target cells by cotransfection of the MHC gene Ld and fragments of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) DNA coding for nonstructural immediate-early (IE) proteins.

Analysis of the human herpesvirus-6 immediate-early 1 protein
Herpesvirus immediate-early (IE) gene products play key roles in establishing productive infections, regulating reactivation from latency and evading immune recognition. Analyses of HHV-6 IE gene expression have revealed that the IE1 gene of the HHV-6A and HHV-6B variants exhibits a higher degree of sequence variation than other regions of the genome ...

Phosphorylation of the Human Cytomegalovirus 86-Kilodalton Immediate-Early Protein IE2 [PDF]
ABSTRACTWe have investigated the phosphorylation state of the human cytomegalovirus 86-kDa immediate-early (IE) protein IEP86 from transfected and infected cells. We show that multiple domains of IEP86 are phosphorylated by cellular kinases, both in vitro and in vivo.

The strong enhancer element in the immediate early region of the human cytomegalovirus genome [PDF]
The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a member of the herpesvirus group, was found to possess a strong transcription enhancer in the immediate early gene region. Co-transfection of enhancerless SV40 DNA with randomly fragmented HCMV DNA yielded two SV40-

DNA-binding properties of a herpes simplex virus immediate early protein [PDF]
The herpes simplex virus alpha, or immediate early, protein ICP4 has been shown to be central to the control of the early stages of virus replication. The detailed mechanism of this control is unknown. In this communication we show that purified ICP4 was unable to bind to DNA even though the protein was capable of such activity in a crude extract ...

Proteomic analysis of immediate-early response plasma proteins after 70% and 90% partial hepatectomy [PDF]
AIM: Partial hepatectomy (PH) induces robust hepatic regenerative and metabolic responses that are considered to be triggered by humoral factors. The aim of the study was to identify plasma protein factors that potentially trigger or reflect the body's ...

Immediate early gene X-1 interacts with proteins that modulate apoptosis [PDF]
Immediate early gene X-1 (IEX-1) modulates apoptosis, cellular growth, mechanical strain-induced cardiac hypertrophy, and vascular intimal hyperplasia. To determine how IEX-1 alters apoptosis, we performed yeast two-hybrid studies using IEX-1 as the "bait" protein, and examined interactions between IEX-1 and proteins expressed by a human kidney cDNA ...

Herpesvirus late promoters activate gene expression after viral DNA synthesis has begun. Alphaherpesviruses utilize a viral immediate-early protein to do this, whereas beta- and gammaherpesviruses primarily use a 6-member set of viral late-acting ...

High Throughput Screening of a GlaxoSmithKline Protein Kinase Inhibitor Set Identifies an Inhibitor of Human Cytomegalovirus Replication that Prevents CREB and Histone H3 Post-Translational Modification. [PDF]
To identify new compounds with anti-human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) activity and new anti-HCMV targets, we developed a high throughput strategy to screen a GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Published Kinase Inhibitor Set (PKIS).

Mapping of human herpesvirus 6 immediate–early 2 protein transactivation domains
The immediate-early 2 (IE2) protein of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a potent transactivator of multiple cellular and viral promoters. Deletion mutants of HHV-6 variant A IE2 allowed us to map functional transactivation domains acting on complex and minimal promoter sequences.
