The Viral Replication Complex Is Associated with the Virulence of Newcastle Disease Virus [PDF]
Virulent strains of Newcastle disease virus ([NDV] also known as avian paramyxovirus type 1) can be discriminated from low-virulence strains by the presence of multiple basic amino acid residues at the proteolytic cleavage site of the fusion (F) protein.

Molecular components of the circadian clock regulate HIV-1 replication
Summary: Human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) causes major health burdens worldwide and still lacks curative therapies and vaccines. Circadian rhythms are endogenous daily oscillations that coordinate an organism’s response to its environment and ...

Cholesterol biosynthesis modulation regulates dengue viral replication
We performed a focused siRNA screen in an A549 dengue type 2 New Guinea C subgenomic replicon cell line (Rluc-replicon) that contains a Renilla luciferase cassette. We found that siRNA mediated knock down of mevalonate diphospho decarboxylase (MVD) inhibited viral replication of the Rluc-replicon and DEN-2 NGC live virus replication in A549 cells. When

Real-time transcriptional profiling of cellular and viral gene expression during lytic cytomegalovirus infection. [PDF]
During viral infections cellular gene expression is subject to rapid alterations induced by both viral and antiviral mechanisms. In this study, we applied metabolic labeling of newly transcribed RNA with 4-thiouridine (4sU-tagging) to dissect the real ...

Reactivation and Lytic Replication of Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus: An Update
The life cycle of Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) consists of two phases, latent and lytic. The virus establishes latency as a strategy for avoiding host immune surveillance and fusing symbiotically with the host for lifetime persistent ...

Activation of the interferon induction cascade by influenza A viruses requires viral RNA synthesis and nuclear export [PDF]
This work is supported by grants from the Wellcome Trust (grants 087751/A/08/Z) and MRC (G1001726/1).We have examined the requirements for virus transcription and replication and thus the roles of input and progeny genomes in the generation of interferon

IFN-Gamma Inhibits JC Virus Replication in Glial Cells by Suppressing T-Antigen Expression. [PDF]
Patients undergoing immune modulatory therapies for the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, and individuals with an impaired-immune system, most notably AIDS patients, are in the high risk group of developing progressive ...

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1α downregulates HBV gene expression and replication by activating the NF-κB signaling pathway. [PDF]
The role of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1α (HNF1α) in the regulation of gene expression and replication of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is not fully understood.

Cellular and Viral Factors Regulating Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Replication
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV), a previously unrecognized component of the human viral skin flora, was discovered as a mutated and clonally-integrated virus inserted into Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) genomes. We reconstructed a replicating MCV clone (MCV-HF), and then mutated viral sites required for replication or interaction with cellular proteins to ...
