Abstract

VP8, the UL47 gene product in bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1), is a major tegument protein that is essential for virus replication in vivo The major DNA damage response protein, ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), phosphorylates Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS1) and structural maintenance of chromosome-1 (SMC1) proteins during the DNA damage response. VP8 was found to interact with ATM and NBS1 during transfection and BoHV-1 infection. However, VP8 did not interfere with phosphorylation of ATM in transfected or BoHV-1-infected cells. In contrast, VP8 inhibited phosphorylation of both NBS1 and SMC1 in transfected cells, as well as in BoHV-1-infected cells, but not in cells infected with a VP8 deletion mutant (BoHV-1ΔUL47). Inhibition of NBS1 and SMC1 phosphorylation was observed at 4 h postinfection by nuclear VP8. Furthermore, UV light-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) repair was reduced in the presence of VP8, and VP8 in fact enhanced etoposide or UV-induced apoptosis. This suggests that VP8 blocks the ATM/NBS1/SMC1 pathway and inhibits DNA repair. VP8 induced apoptosis in VP8-transfected cells through caspase-3 activation. The fact that BoHV-1 is known to induce apoptosis through caspase-3 activation is in agreement w...Continue Reading

Ataxia telangiectasia (MDS)

Ataxia telangiectasia is a rare neurodegenerative diseases caused by defects in the ATM gene, which is involved in DNA damage recognition and repair pathways. Here is the latest research on this autosomal recessive disease.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
