13. Establishment of a Subgenomic Replicon for Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus in Huh-7 Cells and Modulation of Interferon-Regulated Factor 3-Mediated Antiviral Response
We describe the development of a selectable, bi-cistronic subgenomic replicon for bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) in Huh-7 cells, similar to that established for hepatitis C virus (HCV). The selection marker and reporter (Luc-Ubi-Neo) in the BVDV replicon was fused with the amino-terminal protease Npro, and expression of the nonstructural proteins (NS3 to

14. Recombination involving transposable elements: role of target molecule replication in Tn1 delta Ap-mediated replicon fusion.
Donor DNA molecules carrying Tn1 or Tn3 deletion mutants do not need to replicate in order to participate in replicon fusion recombination events during which the Tn1/Tn3 element is duplicated. We have assayed Tn1 delta Ap-mediated replicon fusion events involving plasmid R388 and the bacteriophage lambda-derived plasmid p lambda CM, and we find that the rol

15. Kunjin Virus Replicon Vaccine Vectors Induce Protective CD8+ T-Cell Immunity
The ability of self-replicating RNA (replicon) vaccine vectors derived from the Australian flavivirus Kunjin (KUN) to induce protective αβ CD8+ T-cell responses was examined. KUN replicons encoding a model immunogen were delivered by three different vaccine modalities: (i) as naked RNA transcribed in vitro, (ii) as plasmid DNA constructed to allow in vivo

16. Dynamics of Subgenomic Hepatitis C Virus Replicon RNA Levels in Huh-7 Cells after Exposure to Nucleoside Antimetabolites
Treatment with antimetabolites results in chemically induced low nucleoside triphosphate pools and cell cycle arrest in exponentially growing cells. Since steady-state levels of hepatitis C virus (HCV) replicon RNA were shown to be dependent on exponential growth of Huh-7 cells, the effects of antimetabolites for several nucleoside biosynthesis pathways on c

17. An ATR- and Chk1-Dependent S Checkpoint Inhibits Replicon Initiation following UVC-Induced DNA Damage
Inhibition of replicon initiation is a stereotypic DNA damage response mediated through S checkpoint mechanisms not yet fully understood. Studies were undertaken to elucidate the function of checkpoint proteins in the inhibition of replicon initiation following irradiation with 254 nm UV light (UVC) of diploid human fibroblasts immortalized by the ectopic ex

18. Ribavirin Resistance in Hepatitis C Virus Replicon-Containing Cell Lines Conferred by Changes in the Cell Line or Mutations in the Replicon RNA
Ribavirin (RBV), used in combination with alpha interferon to treat hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections, is a guanosine nucleotide analog that can increase the error rate of viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases, imbalance intracellular nucleotide pools, and cause toxicity in many cell types. To determine potential mechanisms of RBV resistance during HCV RNA re

19. Inhibition of replicon initiation in human cells following stabilization of topoisomerase-DNA cleavable complexes.
Diploid human fibroblast strains were treated for 10 min with inhibitors of type I and type II DNA topoisomerases, and after removal of the inhibitors, the rate of initiation of DNA synthesis at replicon origins was determined. By alkaline elution chromatography, 4'-(9-acridinylamino)methanesulfon-m-anisidide (amsacrine), an inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase II

20. Expression of the Two Major Envelope Proteins of Equine Arteritis Virus as a Heterodimer Is Necessary for Induction of Neutralizing Antibodies in Mice Immunized with Recombinant Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus Replicon Particles
RNA replicon particles derived from a vaccine strain of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEE) were used as a vector for expression of the major envelope proteins (GL and M) of equine arteritis virus (EAV), both individually and in heterodimer form (GL/M). Open reading frame 5 (ORF5) encodes the GL protein, which expresses the known neutralizing determin

21. Hep3B Human Hepatoma Cells Support Replication of the Wild-Type and a 5′-End Deletion Mutant GB Virus B Replicon
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and GB virus B (GBV-B) replicons have been reported to replicate only in Huh7 cells. Here we demonstrate that subpopulations of another human hepatoma cell line, Hep3B, are permissive for the GBV-B replicon, showing different levels of enhancement of replication from those of the unselected parental cell population. Adaptive mutations

22. Encapsidation and serial passage of a poliovirus replicon which expresses an inactive 2A proteinase.
The multiple roles of the viral proteinase 2A in poliovirus replication have been difficult to assess because, to date, it has not been possible to isolate and characterize a viral genome with an inactive 2Apro. We have previously reported that a poliovirus replicon containing an inactive 2Apro by virtue of a change at amino acid 109 from a cysteine to a ser

23. Encapsidation of the Flavivirus Kunjin Replicon RNA by Using a Complementation System Providing Kunjin Virus Structural Proteins in trans
Kunjin virus (KUN) replicon RNA was encapsidated by a procedure involving two consecutive electroporations of BHK-21 cells, first with KUN replicon RNA C20DXrep (with prME and most of C deleted) and about 24 h later with a recombinant Semliki Forest virus (SFV) replicon RNA(s) expressing KUN structural proteins. The presence of KUN replicon RNA in encapsidat

24. Antiviral Effect and Virus-Host Interactions in Response to Alpha Interferon, Gamma Interferon, Poly(I)-Poly(C), Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha, and Ribavirin in Hepatitis C Virus Subgenomic Replicons
The recently developed hepatitis C virus (HCV) subgenomic replicon system was utilized to evaluate the efficacy of several known antiviral agents. Cell lines that persistently maintained a genotype 1b replicon were selected. The replicon resident in each cell line had acquired adaptive mutations in the NS5A region that increased colony-forming efficiency, an
