    Asparagine Deprivation Causes a Reversible Inhibition of Human Cytomegalovirus Acute Virus Replication

    Asparagine Deprivation Causes a Reversible Inhibition of Human Cytomegalovirus Acute Virus Replication

    HCMV accounts for more than 60% of complications associated with solid organ transplant patients. Prophylactic or preventative treatment with antivirals, such as ganciclovir, reduces the occurrence of early onset HCMV disease. However, late onset disease remains a significant problem, and prolonged treatment, especially in patients with suppressed immune systems, greatly increases the risk of antiviral resistance. Very few antivirals...

    Human Cytomegalovirus US28 Ligand Binding Activity Is Required for Latency in CD34<sup>+</sup> Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells and Humanized NSG Mice

    Human Cytomegalovirus US28 Ligand Binding Activity Is Required for Latency in CD34+ Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells and Humanized NSG Mice

    Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can establish latency following infection of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs), and reactivation from latency is a significant cause of viral disease and accelerated graft failure in bone marrow and solid-organ transplant patients. The precise molecular mechanisms of HCMV infection in HPCs are not well defined; however, select viral gene products are known to regulate aspects of latency...

    The ICP27 Homology Domain of the Human Cytomegalovirus Protein UL69 Adopts a Dimer-of-Dimers Structure

    Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is widespread in the human population but typically remains dormant in an asymptomatic latent state. HCMV causes disease in neonates and adults with suppressed or impaired immune function, as the virus is activated into a lytic state. All species of herpesvirus express a protein from the ICP27 family which functions as a posttranscriptional activator in the lytic state. In HCMV, this protein is...

    Human Cytomegalovirus Encodes a Novel FLT3 Receptor Ligand Necessary for Hematopoietic Cell Differentiation and Viral Reactivation

    Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) represent a critical reservoir of latent HCMV in the transplant population, thereby providing a source of virus for dissemination to visceral organs. HCMV reactivation has been linked to HPC/myeloid cellular differentiation; however, the...
