Fusogenic reoviruses encode fusion-associated small transmembrane (FAST) protein, which induces cell-cell fusion. FAST protein is the only known fusogenic protein in non-enveloped viruses, and its role in virus replication is not yet known.

Identification of Epstein-Barr virus replication proteins in Burkitt’s lymphoma cells [PDF]
The working model to describe the mechanisms used to replicate the cancer-associated virus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is partly derived from comparisons with other members of the Herpes virus family.

Creating a novel origin of replication through modulating DNA-protein interfaces. [PDF]
While the molecular mechanisms of DNA-protein specificity at the origin of replication have been determined in many model organisms, these interactions remain unknown in the majority of higher eukaryotes and numerous vertebrate viruses.

Inhibition of hepatitis C virus RNA replication by ISG15 does not require its conjugation to protein substrates by the HERC5 E3 ligase [PDF]
Chronic infection of the liver by hepatitis C virus (HCV) induces a range of host factors including IFN-stimulated genes such as ISG15. ISG15 functions as an antiviral factor that limits virus replication. Previous studies have suggested that ISG15 could

CTF18 interacts with replication protein A in response to replication stress
Replication stress response is a protective mechanism against defects in chromosome replication for maintaining genome integrity in eukaryotic cells. An alternative clamp loader complex termed chromosome transmission fidelity protein 18 and replication factor C (CTF18‑RFC) has been shown to act as a positive regulator of two types of replication stress

An Alternative Form of Replication Protein A Prevents Viral Replication in Vitro [PDF]
Replication protein A (RPA), the eukaryotic single-stranded DNA-binding complex, is essential for multiple processes in cellular DNA metabolism. The "canonical" RPA is composed of three subunits (RPA1, RPA2, and RPA3); however, there is a human homolog to the RPA2 subunit, called RPA4, that can substitute for RPA2 in complex formation.

Autophagy in HCV Replication and Protein Trafficking [PDF]
Autophagy is a catabolic process that is important for maintaining cellular homeostasis. It is also known to possess other functions including protein trafficking and anti-microbial activities. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is known to co-opt cellular autophagy pathway to promote its own replication.

UV-induced Hyperphosphorylation of Replication Protein A Depends on DNA Replication and Expression of ATM Protein [PDF]
Exposure to DNA-damaging agents triggers signal transduction pathways that are thought to play a role in maintenance of genomic stability. A key protein in the cellular processes of nucleotide excision repair, DNA recombination, and DNA double-strand break repair is the single-stranded DNA binding protein, RPA. We showed previously that the p34 subunit

A quantitative model of the initiation of DNA replication in Saccharomyces cerevisiae predicts the effects of system perturbations. [PDF]
BackgroundEukaryotic cell proliferation involves DNA replication, a tightly regulated process mediated by a multitude of protein factors. In budding yeast, the initiation of replication is facilitated by the heterohexameric origin recognition complex ...
