Reactivation occurs when these monocytes differentiate into monocyte-derived macrophages.
70
Q

MIEP in cytomegalovirus

A

The repressive chromatin structure formed at the major immediate early promoter (MIEP) elicits inhibition of IE gene expression and is a major factor involved in maintenance of HCMV latency.
Exposure of this is important in determining latency or lytic activation.

71
Q

Regulation of MIEP (HCMVV)

A 
Roughly;
methylation silences
demethylated deacetylated could be active
acetylation activates. 
Could control MIEP.
73
Q

ICP0 in HSV1.
74
Q

Model for inhibition of MIEP in non-permissive cell systems

75
Q

Mechanism of chromatin remodelling in HCMV

A

Promoters, TF, regulation of silencing, other controls of mRNA.

128
Q

Regulation of DNA virus transcription - promoter

A

1 or many.
Sequence or cis-acting controls.
Sequence details - TATA.
Constitutively active enhancer (E1A)

129
Q

Regulation of DNA virus transcription - transcription factors

A

Cascade of TFs.
Cellular TFs
Viral TFs.

130
Q

Regulation of DNA virus transcription - regulation of silencing.

A

At MIEP

VP16.

131
Q

Regulation of DNA virus transcription - promoter - 1 promoter or many

A

Polyomaviruses (SV40) - one promoter for early.
Papilloma = HPV has single early, multiple late. BPV has multiple.
Adeno = one key late, but minor late promoters controlling transcription of TFs.

132
Q

Regulation of DNA virus transcription - promoter - Sequence/TFs, or cis-acting control?

A

Adeno and herpes have cis-acting control switch.

133
Q

Regulation of DNA virus transcription - promoter - sequence of promoters

A

Some have TATA (SV40), others don’t (pox).

134
Q

Regulation of DNA virus transcription - transcription factors - viral factors

A 
Promiscuous transactivators (E4). Some have both repressive and activation activity (Large T, ICP4). 
Some are brought in with virus, others not.
135
Q

Pox virus early transcription factor

A

VETF binds VACV ealry promoter.
RAP94 gives specificity to early transcription.
No evidence of enhancers.

136
Q

Poxvirus intermediate transcription.

A

Possibly due to genome being inaccessible to newly synthesised TFs until replicated.

137
Q

Maximising late gene expression

A

Template number
Stability - inherent, and due to complex splicing (polyoma)
Preferential translation (tripartite leaders, adeno)
Host shut off herpes.

138
Q

Polyoma transcription

A

Accumulation large T ag.
