| simian virus 40 (sv40) large t antigen-dependent amplification of an epstein-barr virus-sv40 hybrid shuttle vector integrated into the human hela cell genome. | we analysed the dna rearrangements that occurred during the integration and amplification of an epstein-barr virus (ebv)-simian virus 40 (sv40) hybrid shuttle vector in human cells. the human hela cell line was episomally transformed with the ebv-sv40 p205-gti plasmid. after a 2 month culture in a selective medium, a hela cell-derived population (h-g1 cells) was obtained in which the p205-gti vector was integrated as a single intact copy deleted in the ebv latent origin of replication (orip). se ... | 1992 | 1321208 |
| rna polymerase iii-transcribed eber 1 and 2 transcription units are expressed and hypomethylated in the major epstein-barr virus-carrying cell types. | the genome of epstein-barr virus (ebv) codes for two non-translated small rna molecules, eber 1 and 2. we found that both ebers are expressed in the major ebv-carrying cell types, group i and iii burkitt's lymphoma (bl) cell lines, lymphoblastoid cell lines (lcls) and in two nude mouse-passaged nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc) tumours. the relative amount of eber 1 and eber 2 varied in different host cells but did not correlate with the cellular phenotype. the eber coding and flanking sequences we ... | 1992 | 1321209 |
| identification of the glycoprotein h gene of murine cytomegalovirus. | partial sequencing of the hindiii c fragment of murine cytomegalovirus (mcmv) revealed an open reading frame of 2172 nucleotides in length encoding a 724 amino acid protein with a predicted mr of 80.4k. analysis of the predicted amino acid sequence revealed homology with glycoprotein h (gh) from a number of other herpesviruses. mcmv gh showed strongest amino acid identity with human (h) cmv and human herpesvirus 6 gh, and less identity with the gh protein sequences of epstein-barr virus, varicel ... | 1992 | 1321219 |
| the epstein-barr virus nuclear protein 1 promoter active in type i latency is autoregulated. | the only member of the epstein-barr virus family of nuclear proteins (ebnas) expressed during type i and type ii latent infections is ebna-1. this is in contrast to type iii latency, during which all six nuclear proteins are expressed from a common transcription unit. the exclusive expression of ebna-1 during type i and ii latency is mediated through a recently identified promoter, fp. the objective of this study was to characterize fp in the burkitt lymphoma cell background, where it is known t ... | 1992 | 1321268 |
| epstein-barr virus bzlf1 transactivator is a negative regulator of jun. | the epstein-barr virus bzlf1 protein that can induce the lytic cycle in latently infected cells is a transcription factor partially homologous to fos and binds not only the canonical tpa (tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate)-responsive element (tre) site but also sequences deviating from the tre consensus sequence. thus, expression of cellular genes regulated by ap-1, including the autoregulated ap-1 family, should be affected by bzlf1. however, induction of only fos by bzlf1 was observed in a gel mob ... | 1992 | 1321269 |
| transcriptional synergy by the epstein-barr virus transactivator zebra. | zebra is an epstein-barr virus (ebv) transcriptional activator that mediates a genetic switch between the latent and lytic states of the virus by binding to the promoters of genes involved in lytic dna replication and activating their transcription. a computer survey revealed that 9 of 23 potential or known zebra-responsive ebv genes contained two or more upstream binding sites; this suggested that zebra can stimulate transcription synergistically. by using a series of synthetic promoters bearin ... | 1992 | 1321270 |
| epstein-barr virus (ebv)-negative b-lymphoma cell lines for clonal isolation and replication of ebv recombinants. | previous experiments have demonstrated that positive selection markers recombined into the epstein-barr virus (ebv) genome enable the isolation of transforming or nontransforming mutant ebv recombinants in ebv-negative b-lymphoma (bl) cell lines (a. marchini, j. i. cohen, and e. kieff, j. virol. 66:3214-3219, 1992; f. wang, a. marchini, and e. kieff, j. virol. 65:1701-1709, 1991). however, virus has been recovered from a bl cell clone (bl41) infected with an ebv recombinant in only one instance ... | 1992 | 1321281 |
| trans-acting requirements for replication of epstein-barr virus ori-lyt. | epstein-barr virus (ebv) utilizes a completely different mode of dna replication during the lytic cycle than that employed during latency. the latency origin of replication, ori-p, which functions in the replication of the latent episomal form of the ebv genome, requires only a single virally encoded protein, ebna-1, for its activity. during the lytic cycle, a separate origin, ori-lyt, is utilized. relatively little is known about the trans-acting proteins involved in ori-lyt replication. we est ... | 1992 | 1321285 |
| primary structure of the herpesvirus saimiri genome. | this report describes the complete nucleotide sequence of the genome of herpesvirus saimiri, the prototype of gammaherpesvirus subgroup 2 (rhadinoviruses). the unique low-g + c-content dna region has 112,930 bp with an average base composition of 34.5% g + c and is flanked by about 35 noncoding high-g + c-content dna repeats of 1,444 bp (70.8% g + c) in tandem orientation. we identified 76 major open reading frames and a set of seven u-rna genes for a total of 83 potential genes. the genes are c ... | 1992 | 1321287 |
| epstein-barr virus-encoded small rnas (ebers) do not modulate interferon effects in infected lymphocytes. | the recent derivation of otherwise isogenic epstein-barr virus (ebv) recombinants carrying or lacking the ebv small rna (eber) genes enabled us to test whether ebers are similar to adenovirus va rnas in modulating interferon (ifn) effects on virus infection. eber-positive and -negative ebv recombinants did not differ in their sensitivity to alpha interferon (ifn-alpha)- or ifn-gamma-mediated inhibition of lymphocyte growth transformation. in addition, ebers did not decrease the inhibitory effect ... | 1992 | 1321292 |
| an epstein-barr virus transformation-associated membrane protein interacts with src family tyrosine kinases. | in latently infected growth-transformed human lymphocytes, epstein-barr virus (ebv) encodes two integral plasma membrane proteins: lmp1, which constitutively induces b-lymphocyte activation and intercellular adhesion, and lmp2a, which associates with lmp1 and is a tyrosine kinase substrate. we now demonstrate that lmp2a associates with src family protein tyrosine kinases, particularly lyn kinase, in nonionic detergent extracts of transfected b lymphoma cells or in extracts of ebv-transformed b l ... | 1992 | 1321296 |
