CRIS Current Research Information System
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishHuman herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is the only human herpesvirus encoding U94/rep, homologue to the parvovirus non-structural gene rep68/78. Results to date suggest that HHV-6 U94/rep might regulate viral gene expression and have a role in viral latency. To determine the effect of U94/REP upon viral replication, the protein was produced. The purified U94/REP retained the characteristic immunological features. It was internalized and localized in the nucleus of human cells, showing marked inhibitory activity on the replication of HHV-6 (both variants A and B). The effect of U94/REP was dose-dependent and sensitive to treatment with single-stranded but not double-stranded DNA. U94/REP inhibited the replication of other betaherpesviruses, HHV-7 and human cytomegalovirus, but had no effect on herpes simplex virus. These results confirm the action of U94/rep latency gene in the regulation of HHV-6 replication with implications for co-reactivations and latency of human betaherpesviruses.

| Abstract: | Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is the only human herpesvirus encoding U94/rep, homologue to the parvovirus non-structural gene rep68/78. Results to date suggest that HHV-6 U94/rep might regulate viral gene expression and have a role in viral latency. To determine the effect of U94/REP upon viral replication, the protein was produced. The purified U94/REP retained the characteristic immunological features. It was internalized and localized in the nucleus of human cells, showing marked inhibitory activity on the replication of HHV-6 (both variants A and B). The effect of U94/REP was dose-dependent and sensitive to treatment with single-stranded but not double-stranded DNA. U94/REP inhibited the replication of other betaherpesviruses, HHV-7 and human cytomegalovirus, but had no effect on herpes simplex virus. These results confirm the action of U94/rep latency gene in the regulation of HHV-6 replication with implications for co-reactivations and latency of human betaherpesviruses. |
