Autophagy

5.7K
Autophagy is a self-digesting process by which a cell protects itself from threats both within and outside the cell, ranging from abnormal proteins to invading bacteria. In this process, obsolete components of the cell and invading microbes are degraded by hydrolytic enzymes active in an acidic environment of the lysosomal lumen.
An autophagic pathway consists of a series of signaling events activated in response to diverse stress and physiological conditions such as food deprivation,...

Translesion DNA Polymerases

11.0K
Translesion (TLS) polymerases rescue stalled DNA polymerases at sites of damaged bases by replacing the replicative polymerase and installing a nucleotide across the damaged site. Doing so, TLS allows additional time for the cell to repair the damage before resuming regular DNA replication.
TLS polymerases are found in all three domains of life - archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. Of the different classes of TLS polymerases, members of the Y family are fitted with specialized structures that...

DNA Topoisomerases02:02

DNA Topoisomerases

35.0K
Topoisomerases are enzymes that relax overwound DNA molecules during various cell processes, including DNA replication and transcription. These enzymes regulate positive and negative DNA supercoiling without changing the nucleotide sequence. DNA overwinding in a clockwise direction results in positively supercoiled DNA, whereas underwinding in a counterclockwise direction produces negatively supercoiled DNA.
Types and Mechanism of action
Topoisomerases are divided into two main types. ...

DNA Helicases

23.9K
DNA unwinding helicase enzymes are a type of motor protein. Motor proteins can translocate along filaments or polymers using energy generated from ATP hydrolysis. Helicases are involved in all the important cellular processes where DNA unwinding is required, such as DNA replication, repair, recombination, and transcription. They are present in all living organisms, but vary in their structure, function, and mechanism of action. For example, in prokaryotes, DnaB helicase binds and translocates...

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Virology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Autophagy is a fundamental catabolic process responsible for cellular waste removal and energy recycling.
  • Viruses can modulate autophagy, either being targeted by it or utilizing it for their own replication and survival.
  • DNA viruses present unique interactions with autophagy due to their distinct replication strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of autophagy in the context of DNA virus infections.
  • To comprehensively review the interactions between human and animal DNA viruses and autophagy.
  • To elucidate the role and mechanisms of autophagy in viral DNA replication and host immunity.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on autophagy and DNA viruses.
  • Analysis of viral mechanisms for manipulating autophagy.
  • Examination of autophagy's role in antiviral immunity.

Main Results:

  • DNA viruses interact with autophagy in complex ways, influencing viral replication and host immune responses.
  • Some viruses are degraded by autophagy, while others hijack the process to enhance their lifecycle.
  • Autophagy plays a significant role in both innate and acquired immunity against DNA viruses.

Conclusions:

  • Autophagy is a critical cellular process with a significant impact on DNA virus pathogenesis.
  • Targeting autophagy presents a potential therapeutic strategy for managing DNA virus infections.
  • Further research is needed to fully understand the intricate interplay between autophagy and DNA viruses.
