Abstract
Replication of the human Enterovirus 71 (EV71) and herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) requires Hsp90 chaperone activity. Vertebrate cells express two cytosolic Hsp90 proteins, Hsp90α and Hsp90β. Earlier reports suggested that EV71 replication might depend solely on the Hsp90β, whereas HSV-1 replication depended on Hsp90α. Here, we describe construction of the cell line knockouts missing Hsp90α or Hsp90β protein. Using these cells, we found that HSV-1 and, another enterovirus, Coxsackievirus B5 (CVB5) replicate in both Hsp90α and Hsp90β knockout cells with equal efficiency. The presented results demonstrate that cell lines with a mutation inactivating the specific HSP90 gene might be an easy-to-use and robust system to study specific cellular functions of Hsp90α and Hsp90β.
期刊介绍:
Viruses are convenient models for the elucidation of life processes. The study of viruses is again on the cutting edge of biological sciences: systems biology, genomics, proteomics, metagenomics, using the newest most powerful tools.
Huge amounts of new details on virus interactions with the cell, other pathogens and the hosts – animal (including human), insect, fungal, plant, bacterial, and archaeal - and their role in infection and disease are forthcoming in perplexing details requiring analysis and comments.
Virus Genes is dedicated to the publication of studies on the structure and function of viruses and their genes, the molecular and systems interactions with the host and all applications derived thereof, providing a forum for the analysis of data and discussion of its implications, and the development of new hypotheses.
