HIV-1 gene expression: lessons from provirus and non-integrated DNA
Replication of HIV-1 involves a series of obligatory steps such as reverse transcription of the viral RNA genome into double-stranded DNA, and subsequent integration of the DNA into the human chromatin.

Synthetic Tumor-Specific Promoters for Transcriptional Regulation of Viral Replication
Here we describe a collection of methods that have been adapted to isolate and modify tumor-specific promoters (TSPs ) to drive viral replication for cancer therapy and other uses. We will describe as examples the secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC ) and the protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) promoter.

Human cytomegalovirus miR‐US33‐5p inhibits viral DNA synthesis and viral replication by down‐regulating expression of the host Syntaxin3 [PDF]
During infection with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), overexpression of hcmv‐miR‐US33 can inhibit the lytic viral replication and down‐regulate US29 mRNA. However, it remains unknown whether inhibition of viral replication by miR‐US33 is mediated by down‐regulation of expression of US29 or another host gene.

Bromodomain protein Brd4 plays a key role in Merkel cell polyomavirus DNA replication.
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV or MCPyV) is the first human polyomavirus to be definitively linked to cancer. The mechanisms of MCV-induced oncogenesis and much of MCV biology are largely unexplored.

Previous genome-wide screens identified over 100 host genes whose deletion/down-regulation affected tombusvirus replication and 32 host genes that affected tombusvirus RNA recombination in yeast, a model host for replication of Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV).

Regulation of host factor γ-H2AX level and location by enterovirus A71 for viral replication
Numerous viruses manipulate host factors for viral production. We demonstrated that human enterovirus A71 (EVA71), a primary causative agent for hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), increased the level of the DNA damage response (DDR) marker γ-H2AX. DDR is primarily mediated by the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), ATM and Rad3-related (ATR), or ...
