Epstein-Barr virus transcription factor Zta acts through distal regulatory elements to directly control cellular gene expression [PDF]
Lytic replication of the human gamma herpes virus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an essential prerequisite for the spread of the virus. Differential regulation of a limited number of cellular genes has been reported in B-cells during the viral lytic ...

CpG Methylation Profiles of HIV-1 Proviral DNA in Individuals on ART
The latent HIV-1 reservoir is comprised of stably integrated and intact proviruses with limited to no viral transcription. It has been proposed that latent infection may be maintained by methylation of pro-viral DNA.

Zika virus preferentially replicates in the female reproductive tract after vaginal inoculation of rhesus macaques. [PDF]
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted virus that can cause severe defects in an infected fetus. ZIKV is also transmitted by sexual contact, although the relative importance of sexual transmission is unclear.

Evolutionary Dynamics of Giant Viruses and their Virophages [PDF]
Giant viruses contain large genomes, encode many proteins atypical for viruses, replicate in large viral factories, and tend to infect protists. The giant virus replication factories can in turn be infected by so called virophages, which are smaller ...

Innate Intracellular Antiviral Responses Restrict the Amplification of Defective Virus Genomes of Parainfluenza Virus 5. [PDF]
During the replication of parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5), copyback defective virus genomes (DVGs) are erroneously produced and are packaged into "infectious" virus particles.

Stress Granules and Virus Replication [PDF]
Viruses are dependent on the cellular translation machinery for protein synthesis. Part of the innate immune response to infection is activation of the stress kinase PKR which phosphorylates the alpha subunit of the initiation factor eIF2. This results in inhibition of translation and is intended to block virus replication.

The relationship between spatiotemporal distribution of HIV-1 proviruses and their transcriptional activity is not well understood. To elucidate the intranuclear positions of transcriptionally active HIV-1 proviruses, we utilized an RNA fluorescence in ...

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.

Guanylate-binding protein 5 antagonizes viral glycoproteins independently of furin processing
Guanylate-binding protein (GBP) 5 is an interferon-inducible cellular factor with broad anti-viral activity. Recently, GBP5 has been shown to antagonize the glycoproteins of a number of enveloped viruses, in part by disrupting the host enzyme furin. Here
