Restarting Stalled Replication Forks

5.9K
DNA replication is initiated at sites containing predefined DNA sequences known as origins of replication. DNA is unwound at these sites by the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) helicase and other factors such as Cdc45 and the associated GINS complex.The unwound single strands are protected by replication protein A (RPA) until DNA polymerase starts synthesizing DNA at the 5’ end of the strand in the same direction as the replication fork. To prevent the replication fork from falling apart,...

Negative Regulator Molecules

Positive regulators allow a cell to advance through cell cycle checkpoints. Negative regulators have an equally important role as they terminate a cell’s progression through the cell cycle—or pause it—until the cell meets specific criteria.

Retrovirus Life Cycles01:10

Retrovirus Life Cycles

46.8K
Retroviruses have a single-stranded RNA genome that undergoes a special form of replication. Once the retrovirus has entered the host cell, an enzyme called reverse transcriptase synthesizes double-stranded DNA from the retroviral RNA genome. This DNA copy of the genome is then integrated into the host’s genome inside the nucleus via an enzyme called integrase. Consequently, the retroviral genome is transcribed into RNA whenever the host’s genome is transcribed, allowing the...

Viruses with RNA Genomes

RNA viruses are categorized into positive-strand, negative-strand, or double-stranded groups based on their genomic structure and replication mechanisms. This classification dictates how they exploit host cellular machinery for protein synthesis and replication. Some RNA viruses also utilize reverse transcription as part of their life cycle, further diversifying their replication strategies.Positive-Strand RNA VirusesPositive-strand RNA viruses have genomes that function directly as messenger...

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) is an interferon-stimulated gene known to restrict enveloped viruses.
  • Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) causes significant economic damage to the swine industry.
  • The mechanism by which IFITM3 restricts PRRSV remains largely unknown.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of IFITM3 in restricting PRRSV infection in vitro.
  • To elucidate the stage at which IFITM3 exerts its antiviral effect against PRRSV.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized MARC-145 cells for in vitro studies.
  • Employed IFITM3 overexpression and siRNA-mediated knockdown.
  • Performed colocalization studies using confocal microscopy and quantified viral RNA and titers.

Main Results:

  • Overexpression of IFITM3 significantly reduced PRRSV replication.
  • Knockdown of IFITM3 using siRNA increased PRRSV RNA copies and virus titers.
  • Colocalization of PRRSV and IFITM3 was observed, with reduced viral presence in IFITM3-expressing cells over time (73% at 3 hpi vs. 27% at 24 hpi).

Conclusions:

  • IFITM3 demonstrates a significant inhibitory effect on PRRSV replication.
  • Findings suggest IFITM3 restricts PRRSV at post-entry stages.
  • Further research is warranted to fully understand the molecular mechanisms of IFITM3-mediated PRRSV restriction.
