Abstract
Nucleoli are membrane-less structures located within the nucleus and are known to be involved in many cellular functions, including stress response and cell cycle regulation. Besides, many viruses can employ the nucleolus or nucleolar proteins to promote different steps of their life cycle such as replication, transcription and assembly. While adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) capsids have previously been reported to enter the host cell nucleus and accumulate in the nucleolus, both the role of the nucleolus in AAV2 infection, and the viral uncoating mechanism remain elusive. In all prior studies on AAV uncoating, viral capsids and viral genomes were not directly correlated on the single cell level, at least not in absence of a helper virus. To elucidate the properties of the nucleolus during AAV2 infection and to assess viral uncoating on a single cell level, we combined immunofluorescence analysis for detection of intact AAV2 capsids and capsid proteins with fluorescence in situ hybridization for detection of AAV2 genomes. The results of our experiments provide evidence that uncoating of AAV2 particles occurs in a stepwise process that is completed in the nucleolus and supported by alteration of the nucleolar structure.

Roles of E4orf6 and VA I RNA in adenovirus-mediated stimulation of human parvovirus B19 DNA replication and structural gene expression. J Virol 2012; 86:5099-109.

Abstract
Despite its very narrow tropism for erythroid progenitor cells, human parvovirus B19 (B19V) has recently been shown to replicate and form infectious progeny virus in 293 cells in the presence of early adenoviral functions provided either by infection with adenovirus type 5 or by addition of the pHelper plasmid encoding the E2a, E4orf6, and VA RNA functions. In the present study we dissected the individual influence of these functions on B19V genome replication and expression of structural proteins VP1 and VP2. We show that, in the presence of the constitutively expressed E1A and E1B, E4orf6 alone is able to promote B19V DNA replication, resulting in a concomitant increase in VP expression levels. The stimulatory effects of E4orf6 require the integrity of the BC box motifs, which target cellular proteins such as p53 and the Mre11 DNA repair complex for proteosomal degradation through formation of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex with E1B. VA RNA also strongly induces VP expression but, in contrast to E4orf6, in a replication-independent manner. This stimulation could be attributed exclusively to the VA I RNA transcript and does not involve major activating effects at the level of the B19V p6 promoter, but the nucleotide residues required for the well-defined pathway of VA I RNA mediated stimulation of translation through functional inactivation of protein kinase R. These data show that the cellular pathways regulating B19V replication may be very similar to those governing the productive cycle of the helper-dependent parvoviruses, the adeno-associated viruses.

Abstract
Eukaryotic DNA is organized into domains or loops generated by the attachment of chromatin fibers to the nuclear matrix via specific regions called scaffold or matrix attachment regions. The role of these regions in DNA replication is currently under investigation since they have been found in close association with origins of replication. Also, viral DNA sequences, containing the origins of replication, have been found attached to the nuclear matrix. To investigate the functional role of this binding we have studied, in Raji cells, the interaction between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) origins of replication and the nuclear matrix in relation to the viral cycle of infection. We report here that both the latent (ori P) and the lytic (ori Lyt) EBV origins of replication are attached to the nuclear matrix, the first during the latent cycle of infection and the second after induction of the lytic cycle. These findings suggest that the binding of the origins of replication with the nuclear matrix modulates viral replication and expression in the two different phases of infection.

Abstract
Replication of adenovirus (Ad) DNA depends on interactions between three viral and three cellular proteins. Human transcription factors NFI and Oct-1 recruit the Ad DNA polymerase to the origin of DNA replication as a complex with the Ad protein primer pTP. High affinity and specificity DNA binding to recognition sites in this origin by the transcription factors stimulate and stabilize pre-initiation complex formation to compensate for the low binding specificity of the pTP/pol complex. In this review, we discuss the properties of NFI and Oct-1 and the mechanism by which they enhance initiation of DNA replication. We propose a model that describes the dynamics of initiation and elongation as well as the assembly and disassembly of the pre-initiation complex.

Abstract
Borna disease virus (BDV) is a neurotropic nonsegmented negative-strand RNA virus with limited homology to rhabdoviruses and paramyxoviruses. A distinguishing feature of BDV is that it replicates in the nucleus of infected cells. Strand-specific probes used for in situ hybridization of infected rat brain showed that there was differential localization of positive- and negative-strand RNAs within the nucleus of neurons. Within nuclei, sense-strand RNAs were preferentially localized within nucleolar regions while genomic-sense RNAs were found in both nucleolar and nonnucleolar regions. These results suggested a role for the nucleolus in BDV replication. Nucleoli isolated from persistently infected neuroblastoma cells contained both genomic and antigenomic BDV RNA species as well as an enrichment of the 39/38-kDa and gp18 BDV proteins. Since the nucleolus is the site of rRNA transcription, we examined BDV transcription in the presence of inhibitors of RNA polymerase I. Inhibition of RNA polymerase I did not affect levels of BDV transcription.

Abstract
We used three-color fluorescent labeling and confocal microscopy to compare the permissive and the antibody-mediated, restricted replication of Aleutian mink disease parvovirus (ADV). In both permissive (CRFK cells) and restricted (K562 cells) situations, both ADV non-structural proteins (NS1 and NS2) concentrated at focal sites in the nucleus, which also contained viral DNA. Bromodeoxyuridine labeling demonstrated that these sites also supported active ADV single-strand DNA synthesis, indicating that they were replication compartments. ADV capsid proteins were located in intranuclear shells surrounding the replication compartments. At later time points, NS2 was readily detected in the cytoplasm of permissively infected CRFK cells, whereas the cytoplasmic presence of NS2 was much less pronounced in the K562 cells. These results showed that both permissive and restricted ADV replication are associated with a tight nuclear subcompartmentalization of viral products. Furthermore, differences between the permissive and restricted virus-cell interactions were noted, suggesting that there may be a morphological basis for examining the outcome of ADV infection.

Abstract
Adenovirus (Ad) replicative complexes form at discrete sites on the nuclear matrix (NM) via an interaction mediated by the precursor of the terminal protein (pTP). The identities of cellular proteins involved in these complexes have remained obscure. We present evidence that pTP binds to a multifunctional pyrimidine biosynthesis enzyme found at replication domains on the NM. Far-Western blotting identified proteins of 150 and 240 kDa that had pTP binding activity. Amino acid sequencing of the 150-kDa band revealed sequence identity to carbamyl phosphate synthetase I (CPS I) and a high degree of homology to the related trifunctional enzyme known as CAD (for carbamyl phosphate synthetase, aspartate transcarbamylase, and dihydroorotase). Western blotting with an antibody directed against CAD detected a 240-kDa band that comigrated with that detected by pTP far-Western blotting. Binding experiments showed that a pTP-CAD complex was immunoprecipitable from cell extracts in which pTP was expressed by a vaccinia virus recombinant. Additionally, in vitro-translated epitope-tagged pTP and CAD were immunoprecipitable as a complex, indicating the occurrence of a protein-protein interaction. Confocal fluorescence microscopy of Ad-infected NM showed that pTP and CAD colocalized in nuclear foci. Both pTP and CAD were confirmed to colocalize with active sites of replication detected by bromodeoxyuridine incorporation. These data support the concept that the pTP-CAD interaction may allow anchorage of Ad replication complexes in the proximity of required cellular factors and may help to segregate replicated and unreplicated viral DNA.

Abstract
Confocal microscopy allowed us to localize viral nonstructural (NS) and capsid (VP) proteins and DNA simultaneously in cells permissively infected with Aleutian mink disease parvovirus (ADV). Early after infection, NS proteins colocalized with viral DNA to form intranuclear inclusions, whereas VP proteins formed hollow intranuclear shells around the inclusions. Later, nuclei had irregular outlines and were virtually free of ADV products. In these cells, inclusions of viral DNA with or without associated NS protein were embedded in cytoplasmic VP protein. These findings implied that ADV replication within an infected cell is regulated spatially as well as temporally.

Abstract
Adenovirus (Ad) replicative complexes form at discrete sites on the nuclear matrix (NM) through the interaction of Ad preterminal protein (pTP). The NM is a highly salt-resistant fibrillar network which is known to anchor transcription, mRNA splicing, and DNA replication complexes. Incubation of rATP with NM to which pTP was bound caused the release of pTP as a pTP-NM complex with a size of 220 to 230 kDa; incubation with 5' adenylylimidodiphosphate (rAMP-PNP) showed no significant release, indicating that rATP hydrolysis was required. With NM extracts, it was shown that a pTP-NM complex which was capable of binding Ad origin DNA could be reconstituted in vitro. A number of high-molecular-weight NM proteins ranging in size from 120 to 200 kDa were identified on Far Western blots for their ability to bind pTP. rATP-dependent release of pTP from the NM was inhibited in a dose-dependent fashion by the addition of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as quercetin, methyl-2,5-dihydroxycinnamate, or genistein. NM-mediated phosphorylation of a poly(Glu, Tyr) substrate was also significantly abrogated by the addition of these compounds. rATP-dependent release of Ad DNA termini bound to the NM via pTP was also blocked by the addition of these inhibitors. These results indicate that a tyrosine kinase mechanism controls the release of pTP from its binding sites on the NM. These data support the concept that phosphorylation may play a key role in the modulation of pTP binding sites on the NM.

Abstract
The adenovirus major late transcription unit (MLTU) encodes five families of mRNAs, L1 to L5, each distinguished by a unique poly(A) site. Use of the promoter-proximal L1 poly(A) site predominates during early infection, whereas poly(A) site choice shifts to the promoter-distal sites during late infection. A mini-MLTU containing only the L1 and L3 poly(A) sites has been shown to reproduce this processing switch. In vivo analysis has revealed that sequences extending 5' and 3' of the L1 core poly(A) site are required for efficient processing as well as for regulated expression. By replacement of the L1 core poly(A) site with that of the ground squirrel hepatitis virus poly(A) site, we now demonstrate that the L1 flanking sequences can enhance the processing of a heterologous poly(A). Upon recombination of the chimeric L1-ground squirrel hepatitis virus poly(A) site onto the viral chromosome, the L1 flanking sequences were also found to be sufficient to reproduce the processing switch during the course of viral infection. Subsequent in vitro analysis has shown that the L1 flanking sequences function to enhance the stability of binding of cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor to the core poly(A) site. The impact of L1 flanking sequences on the binding of cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor suggests that the regulation of the MLTU poly(A) site selection is mediated by the interaction of constitutive processing factors.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus DNA replication proteins localize in characteristic patterns corresponding to viral DNA replication structures in the infected cell nucleus. The intranuclear spatial organization of the HSV DNA replication structures and the factors regulating their nuclear location remain to be defined. We have used the HSV ICP8 DNA-binding protein and bromodeoxyuridine labeling as markers for sites of herpesviral DNA synthesis to examine the spatial organization of these structures within the cell nucleus. Confocal microscopy and three-dimensional computer graphics reconstruction of optical series through infected cells indicated that viral DNA replication structures extend through the interior of the cell nucleus and appear to be spatially separate from the nuclear lamina. Examination of viral DNA replication structures in infected, binucleate cells showed similar or virtually identical patterns of DNA replication structures oriented along a twofold axis of symmetry between many of the sister nuclei. These results demonstrate that HSV DNA replication structures are organized in the interior of the nucleus and that their location is defined by preexisting host cell nuclear architecture, probably the internal nuclear matrix.

Abstract
Epithelial cervical CaSki, SiHa and HeLa cells containing respectively 600 copies of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA type 16, 1-2 copies of HPV DNA type 16 and 10-50 copies of HPV DNA type 18 were used as model to detect different quantities of integrated HPV genome. The HPV DNA was identified on cell deposits with specific biotinylated DNA probes either by enzymatic in situ hybridization (EISH) or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) involving successively a rabbit anti-biotin antibody, a biotinylated goat anti-rabbit antibody and streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase complex or streptavidin-fluorescein isothiocyanate complex. With brightfield microscopy and EISH, hybridization spots were observed in CaSki and HeLa cells but hardly any in SiHa cells. With fluorescence microscopy and FISH, hybridization spots were clearly seen only on CaSki cell nuclei. In an attempt to improve the detection of low quantities of HPV DNA signals revealed by FISH, laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) and quantitative microscopy with an intensified charge coupled device (CCD) camera were used. With both LSCM and quantitative microscopy, as few as 1-2 copies of HPV DNA were detected and found to be confined to cell nuclei counterstained with propidium iodide. Under Nomarski phase contrast, a good preservation of the cell structure was observed. With quantitative microscopy, differences in the number, size, total area and integrated fluorescence intensity of hybridization spots per nucleus were revealed between CaSki, SiHa and HeLa cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The adenovirus major late transcription unit encodes five poly(A) sites whose use during infection is regulated. Early in the infection, the 5'-most site, L1, is used preferentially, whereas late in infection, all sites are used equivalently. Previous in vivo experiments indicated that regulatory sequences flank the AAUAAA and GU-rich elements of the L1 poly(A) site. We have developed an in vitro coupled transcription-processing system for studying the function of these regulatory sequences in HeLa cell nuclear extracts. The in vitro analysis using this system shows that predominant use of the L1 poly(A) site, as mediated by the upstream regulatory sequence, is independent of transcription. Furthermore, the reaction conditions are favorable to both 3'-end processing and splicing, making this system generally useful for the study of posttranscriptional processes.

Abstract
During the S phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle and in virus-infected cells, DNA replication takes place at discrete sites in the nucleus, although it is not clear how the proteins involved in the replicative process are directed to these sites. Nuclear factor I is a cellular, sequence-specific DNA-binding protein utilized by adenovirus type 2 to facilitate the assembly of a nucleoprotein complex at the viral origin of DNA replication. Immunofluorescence experiments reveal that in uninfected cells, nuclear factor I is distributed evenly throughout the nucleus. However, after a cell is infected with adenovirus type 2, the distribution of nuclear factor I is dramatically altered, being colocalized with the viral DNA-binding protein in a limited number of subnuclear sites which bromodeoxyuridine pulse-labeling experiments have identified as sites of viral DNA replication. Experiments with adenovirus type 4, which does not require nuclear factor I for viral DNA replication, indicate that although the adenovirus type 4 DNA-binding protein is localized to discrete nuclear sites, this does not result in the redistribution of nuclear factor I. Localization of nuclear factor I to discrete subnuclear sites is therefore likely to represent a specific targeting event that reflects the requirement for nuclear factor I in adenovirus type 2 DNA replication.

Abstract
Temporal regulation of poly(A) site choice occurs in an adenovirus recombinant encoding a miniature version of the major late transcription unit with two poly(A) sites, L1 and L3. Using deletion mutagenesis, we have looked directly for cis-acting elements regulating poly(A) site choice in this recombinant. From this work, we draw two main conclusions. First, elements other than the AAUAAA and downstream sequences of the L1 poly(A) site are required for temporal regulation of poly(A) site choice during infection. Second, these regions function in two distinct modes during infection. The two regions enhance selection of the L1 poly(A) site in an additive manner during an early infection, but deletion of either element abolishes the switch in poly(A) site choice during a late infection. This work documents the first example of a regulatory element downstream of a core poly(A) region.

Using deletion mutagenesis, we have looked directly for cis-acting elements regulating poly(A) site choice in this recombinant. From this work, we draw two main conclusions. First, elements other than the AAUAAA and downstream sequences of the L1 poly(A) site are required for temporal regulation of poly(A) site choice during infection. Second, these regions function in two distinct modes during infection. The two regions enhance selection of the L1 poly(A) site in an additive manner during an early infection, but deletion of either element abolishes the switch in poly(A) site choice during a late infection. This work documents the first example of a regulatory element downstream of a core poly(A) region.

Abstract
The primary transcripts of most adenovirus transcription units are processed into multiple, alternatively spliced mRNAs. The relative concentrations of such differentially processed mRNAs changes during the infectious cycle. The factors that control this temporal shift in mRNA abundance have not yet been characterized. In the experiments presented here we have examined mRNA synthesis from three viral transcription units: two early regions E1a and E1b, and late region L1. We show that viral DNA replication plays a key role in the control of cytoplasmic mRNA expression from these regions. In the absence of efficient late protein synthesis, viral DNA replication was sufficient to induce a substantial fraction of the E1a, E1b and L1 transcripts to shift from the early to the late pattern of mRNA structure. The shift was not complete under the conditions used, suggesting that viral proteins, although not essential for the process, play an important regulatory role. The requirement for late viral protein synthesis differed between the three transcription units examined. This dependence was most pronounced for correct L1 mRNA production. Viral DNA replication was sufficient to trigger a significant shift in L1 alternative 3' splice site selection. However, in the absence of late translation the L1 pre-mRNA was aberrantly spliced.
