Three newly identified Immediate Early Genes of Bovine herpesvirus 1 lack the characteristic Octamer binding motif- 1.

ABSTRACT: Only three immediate early genes (IE) BICP0, BICP4 and BICP22 of Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) are known. These genes are expressed coordinately and their promoters are well characterized. We provide evidence for expression of three additional IE genes of BoHV-1 i.e. UL21, UL33 and UL34. These genes are expressed in the presence of cycloheximide (CH) at the same time as known IE genes. Surprisingly, the promoters of newly identified IE genes (UL21, UL33, UL34) lack the OCT-1 binding site, a considered site of transactivation of the BoHV-1 IE genes. The other difference in the promoters of the newly identified IE genes is the presence of TATA box at near optimal site. However, all the IE genes have similar spatial placements of C/EBP?, DPE and INR elements.

Characterization of the bovine herpesvirus 4 major immediate-early transcript.

Project description:The major immediate-early (IE) RNA of bovine herpesvirus 4 (BHV-4) has been identified and characterized by analyzing cytoplasmic polyadenylated RNA isolated from Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells infected with BHV-4(DN-599) in the presence of cycloheximide. Hybridization of cDNA to Southern blots of viral DNA, Northern (RNA) blot analysis, and S1 nuclease analyses showed that the major BHV-4 IE RNA is a spliced, 1.7-kb RNA, which is transcribed from right to left on the restriction map of the BHV-4 genome from DNA contained in the 8.3-kb HindIII fragment E. The major IE RNA contains three small exons at its 5' end, spliced to a 1.3-kb 3' exon. This RNA is present in much-reduced amounts when cells are infected in the absence of cycloheximide. However, late in infection, the major IE RNA gene region encodes abundant RNAs which differ in structure from the major IE RNA. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the gene encoding the major IE RNA revealed an open reading frame encoding 284 amino acids. A homology search of amino acid sequence data bases showed that a 141-amino-acid region near the amino terminus of the predicted amino acid sequence is similar to sequences near the amino terminus of herpes simplex virus type 1 IE110. This region of homology includes CXXC pairs, which could be involved in zinc finger structures. The region encoding this putative zinc finger domain is also found in RNAs transcribed from this IE region late in infection, but it is spliced to different sequences than those used in IE RNA. Thus, the major IE region of the BHV-4 genome could encode a family of proteins sharing a zinc finger domain.

Phenotypic and functional characteristic of a newly identified CD8+ Foxp3- CD103+ regulatory T cells.

Project description:TGF-? and Foxp3 expressions are crucial for the induction and functional activity of CD4(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T (iTreg) cells. Here, we demonstrate that although TGF-?-primed CD8(+) cells display much lower Foxp3 expression, their suppressive capacity is equivalent to that of CD4(+) iTreg cells, and both Foxp3(-) and Foxp3(+) CD8+ subsets have suppressive activities in vitro and in vivo. CD8(+)Foxp3(-) iTreg cells produce little IFN-? but almost no IL-2, and display a typical anergic phenotype. Among phenotypic markers expressed in CD8(+)Foxp3(-) cells, we identify CD103 expression particularly crucial for the generation and function of this subset. Moreover, IL-10 and TGF-? signals rather than cytotoxicity mediate the suppressive effect of this novel Treg population. Therefore, TGF-? can induce both CD8(+)Foxp3(-) and CD8(+)Foxp3(+) iTreg subsets, which may represent the unique immunoregulatory means to treat autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

Immediate-early transcription over covalently joined genome ends of bovine herpesvirus 1: the circ gene.

Project description:Herpesvirus genomes are linear molecules in virions. Prior to replication in host cells, they form circular templates by unknown mechanisms. Examining lytic infection with bovine herpesvirus 1, we observed immediate-early transcription over joined genome ends, which suggested that circles are present at the initial stage of infection. Among the transcripts was a spliced immediate-early RNA (1.5 kb) sharing exon 1 with previously described major immediate-early transcripts from the right genome end and exon 2 with a late transcript located near the left genome end. Exon 2 encodes a putative circ-encoded protein with homology to the varicella-zoster virus open reading frame 2 and equine herpesvirus 1 open reading frame 3 products. The novel features reported here for bovine herpesvirus 1 may constitute a more general property of herpesviruses.

A Qualitative PCR Assay for the Discrimination of Bubaline Herpesvirus 1, Bovine Herpesvirus 1 and Bovine Herpesvirus 5.

Project description:Bubaline herpesvirus 1 (BuHV-1), Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) and Bovine herpesvirus 5 (BoHV-5) are classified in the genus Varicellovirus, subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae. BoHV-1 is the causative agent of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, BoHV-5 induces moderate disease in adult cattle while BuHV-1 has instead been associated with a decline in livestock production of water buffaloes. The aim of this study was to develop a qualitative PCR assay that allows the discrimination of BuHV-1, BoHV-1 and BoHV-5. The alignment of homologous genes identified specific nucleotide sequences of BuHV- 1, BoHV-1 and BoHV-5. The design of the primers and the optimization of the PCR assay were focused on the target sequences located on the portions of gD, gE and gG genes. This assay involved the use of three different PCR end-points: the PCR of a portion of the gD gene identified only the presence of BoHV-1; the PCR of a portion of the gE gene confirmed the presence of both BoHV-5 and BuHV-1; the PCR of a portion of the gG gene discriminated between BoHV-5 and BuHV-1, as the amplification product was observed only for BoHV-5. This qualitative PCR assay allowed the differentiation of BoHV-1 and BoHV-5 infections both in cattle and water buffaloes and heterologous BuHV-1 infections in bovine.

Bovine herpesvirus 1 U(L)3.5 interacts with bovine herpesvirus 1 alpha-transinducing factor.

Project description:The bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) U(L)3.5 gene encodes a 126-amino-acid tegument protein. Homologs of U(L)3.5 are present in some alphaherpesviruses and have 20 to 30% overall amino acid homology that is concentrated in the N-terminal 50 amino acids. Mutant pseudorabies virus lacking U(L)3.5 is deficient in viral egress but can be complemented by BHV-1 U(L)3.5 (W. Fuchs, H. Granzow, and T. C. Mettenleiter, J. Virol. 71:8886-8892, 1997). The function of BHV-1 U(L)3.5 in BHV-1 replication is not known. To get a better understanding of its function, we sought to identify the proteins that interact with the BHV-1 U(L)3.5 protein. By using an in vitro pull-down assay and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry analysis, we identified BHV-1 alpha-transinducing factor (alphaBTIF) as a BHV-1 U(L)3. 5-interacting protein. The interaction was verified by coimmunoprecipitation from virus-infected cells using an antibody to either protein, by indirect immunofluorescence colocalization in both virus-infected and transfected cells, and by the binding of in vitro-translated proteins. In virus-infected cells, U(L)3.5 and alphaBTIF colocalized in a Golgi-like subcellular compartment late in infection. In transfected cells, they colocalized in the nucleus. Deletion of 20 amino acids from the N terminus of U(L)3.5, but not 40 amino acids from the C terminus, abolished the U(L)3.5-alphaBTIF interaction both in vitro and in vivo. The interaction between U(L)3. 5 and alphaBTIF may be important for BHV-1 maturation and regulation of alphaBTIF transactivation activity.

Genome of bovine herpesvirus 5.

Project description:Here we present the complete genomic sequence of bovine herpesvirus 5 (BHV-5), an alphaherpesvirus responsible for fatal meningoencephalitis in cattle. The 138390-bp genome encodes 70 putative proteins and resembles the alpha2 subgroup of herpesviruses in genomic organization and gene content. BHV-5 is very similar to BHV-1, the etiological agent of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, as reflected by the high level of amino acid identity in their protein repertoires (average, 82%). The highest similarity to BHV-1 products (>or=95% amino acid identity) is found in proteins involved in viral DNA replication and processing (UL5, UL15, UL29, and UL39) and in virion proteins (UL14, UL19, UL48, and US6). Among the least conserved (<or=75%) are the homologues of immediate-early (IE) proteins BICP0, BICP4, and BICP22, the three proteins being longer in BHV-5 than in BHV-1. The structure of the BHV-5 latency-related (LR) region departs markedly from that of BHV-1 in both coding and transcriptional regulatory regions. Given the potential significance of IE genes and the LR region in virus-neuron interactions, it is likely these differences contribute to BHV-5 neuropathogenicity.

Protein self-association in solution: the bovine beta -lactoglobulin dimer and octamer.

Project description:We have used proton magnetic relaxation dispersion (MRD) to study the self-association of bovine beta-lactoglobulin variant A (BLG-A) as a function of temperature at pH 4.7 (dimer-octamer equilibrium) and as a function of NaCl concentration at pH 2.5 (monomer-dimer equilibrium). The MRD method identifies coexisting oligomers from their rotational correlation times and determines their relative populations from the associated dispersion amplitudes. From MRD-derived correlation times and hydrodynamic model calculations, we confirm that BLG-A dimers associate to octamers below room temperature. The tendency for BLG-A dimers to assemble into octamers is found to be considerably weaker than in previous light scattering studies in the presence of buffer salt. At pH 2.5, the MRD data are consistent with an essentially complete transition from monomers in the absence of salt to dimers in 1 M NaCl. Because of an interfering relaxation dispersion from nanosecond water exchange, we cannot determine the oligomer populations at intermediate salt concentrations. This nanosecond dispersion may reflect intersite exchange of water molecules trapped inside the large binding cavity of BLG-A.

Detection of bovine herpesvirus 4 DNA in aborted bovine fetuses.

Project description:The presence of Bovine herpesvirus 4 (BoHV-4) was investigated by several methods in 24 aborted bovine fetuses. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in situ DNA hybridization proved the presence of BoHV-4 DNA in 7 (29%) of the fetuses. The BoHV-4 genome was detected in the cytoplasm of splenic lymphocytes and monocytes, and sometimes in renal tubular epithelial cells or hepatic Kupffer cells, in all 7 PCR-positive fetuses. However, BoHV-4-specific monoclonal antibody failed to detect viral antigen in the formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples. No bacterial pathogens were found in the tissues of the BoHV-4-positive fetuses. Fungi were detected in 1 sample, and antibody to bovine viral diarrhea virus was detected in another. These results indicate that BoHV-4 could play a role in reproductive disorders of cattle, including abortion.

Characterization of a bovine herpesvirus 4 immediate-early RNA encoding a homolog of the Epstein-Barr virus R transactivator.

Project description:Immediate-early (IE) RNA 2, the less abundant of two bovine herpesvirus 4 (BHV-4) RNAs detected in Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells infected in the presence of cycloheximide, is a 1.8-kb cytoplasmic polyadenylated RNA transcribed from the 8.3-kb HindIII fragment F. The structure of IE RNA 2 has been determined by S1 nuclease and exonuclease VII mapping, primer extension analysis, and sequencing of a partial cDNA. IE RNA 2 consists of a short, approximately 60-nucleotide 5' exon spliced to a 1.8-kb 3' exon. DNA sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame encoding 551 amino acids with sequence homology to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) R transactivator and its homolog in herpesvirus saimiri, HVS.R.IE 2 and HVS.R show higher homology to each other than to the EBV R transactivator. The homology is highest in the approximately 320 amino-terminal amino acids. All three proteins have acidic carboxyl termini but have little amino acid sequence homology in this region. In transient expression cotransfection assays, IE 2 activated expression from the BHV-4 early promoter-regulatory region of the major DNA-binding protein homolog over 100-fold in bovine turbinate cells. IE 1 was not necessary for this transactivation and did not augment it. However, IE 2 did not transactivate EBV or herpesvirus saimiri early promoter-regulatory regions that are transactivated by the EBV R transactivator or HVS.R.

Detection of a novel bovine lymphotropic herpesvirus.

Project description:Degenerate PCR primers which amplify a conserved region of the DNA polymerase genes of the herpesvirus family were used to provide sequence evidence for a new bovine herpesvirus in bovine B-lymphoma cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The sequence of the resultant amplicon was found to be distinct from those of known herpesvirus isolates. Alignment of amino acid sequences demonstrated 70% identity with ovine herpesvirus 2, 69% with alcelaphine herpesvirus 1, 65% with bovine herpesvirus 4, and 42% with bovine herpesvirus 1. Phylogenetic analysis placed this putative virus within the tumorigenic Gammaherpesvirinae subfamily, and it is tentatively identified as bovine lymphotropic herpesvirus. This novel agent was expressed in vitro from infected PBMC, and cell-free supernatants were used to transfer infection to a bovine B-cell line, BL3. Analysis, with specific PCR primers, of DNA from bovine PBMC and lymphoma cells identified infection in blood of 91% of adult animals (n = 101), 63% of lymphomas (n = 32), and 38% of juveniles (n = 13). Of the adults, herpesvirus infection was present in 94% of animals that were seropositive for bovine leukemia virus (BLV) (n = 63) and in 87% of BLV-seronegative animals (n = 38). Of the seropositive group, 17 animals exhibited persistent lymphocytosis, and 100% of these were herpesvirus positive by PCR. A role for bovine lymphotropic herpesvirus as a cofactor in BLV pathogenesis is considered.
