Abstract
Adeno-associated virus 2 (AAV2) is a helpervirus-dependent parvovirus with a bi-phasic life cycle comprising latency in absence and lytic replication in presence of a helpervirus, such as adenovirus (Ad) or herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Helpervirus-supported AAV2 replication takes place in replication compartments (RCs) in the cell nucleus where virus DNA replication and transcription occur. RCs consist of a defined set of helper virus-, AAV2-, and cellular proteins. Here we compare the profile of cellular proteins recruited into AAV2 RCs or identified in Rep78-associated complexes when either Ad or HSV-1 is the helpervirus, and we discuss the potential roles of some of these proteins in AAV2 and helpervirus infection.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus 1 infection triggers multiple changes in the metabolism of host cells, including a dramatic decrease in the levels of NAD(+). In addition to its role as a cofactor in reduction-oxidation reactions, NAD(+) is required for certain posttranslational modifications. Members of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family of enzymes are major consumers of NAD(+), which they utilize to form poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) chains on protein substrates in response to DNA damage. PAR chains can subsequently be removed by the enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG). We report here that the HSV-1 infection-induced drop in NAD(+) levels required viral DNA replication, was associated with an increase in protein poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation), and was blocked by pharmacological inhibition of PARP-1/PARP-2 (PARP-1/2). Neither virus yield nor the cellular metabolic reprogramming observed during HSV-1 infection was altered by the rescue or further depletion of NAD(+) levels. Expression of the viral protein ICP0, which possesses E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, was both necessary and sufficient for the degradation of the 111-kDa PARG isoform. This work demonstrates that HSV-1 infection results in changes to NAD(+) metabolism by PARP-1/2 and PARG, and as PAR chain accumulation can induce caspase-independent apoptosis, we speculate that the decrease in PARG levels enhances the auto-PARylation-mediated inhibition of PARP, thereby avoiding premature death of the infected cell.

Herpes simplex virus requires poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activity for efficient replication and induces extracellular signal-related kinase-dependent phosphorylation and ICP0-dependent nuclear localization of tankyrase 1.

Abstract
Tankyrase 1 is a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) which localizes to multiple subcellular sites, including telomeres and mitotic centrosomes. Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of the nuclear mitotic apparatus (NuMA) protein by tankyrase 1 during mitosis is essential for sister telomere resolution and mitotic spindle pole formation. In interphase cells, tankyrase 1 resides in the cytoplasm, and its role therein is not well understood. In this study, we found that herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection induced extensive modification of tankyrase 1 but not tankyrase 2. This modification was dependent on extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activity triggered by HSV infection. Following HSV-1 infection, tankyrase 1 was recruited to the nucleus. In the early phase of infection, tankyrase 1 colocalized with ICP0 and thereafter localized within the HSV replication compartment, which was blocked in cells infected with the HSV-1 ICP0-null mutant R7910. In the absence of infection, ICP0 interacted with tankyrase 1 and efficiently promoted its nuclear localization. HSV did not replicate efficiently in cells depleted of both tankyrases 1 and 2. Moreover, XAV939, an inhibitor of tankyrase PARP activity, decreased viral titers to 2 to 5% of control values. We concluded that HSV targets tankyrase 1 in an ICP0- and ERK-dependent manner to facilitate its replication.

Abstract
Following infection, the physical state of linear herpes simplex virus (HSV) genomes may change into an "endless" or circular form. In this study, using Southern blot analysis of the HSV genome, we provide evidence that immediate-early protein ICP4 is involved in the process of converting the linear HSV-1 ICP4-deleted mutant strain d120 genome into its endless form. Under conditions where de novo viral DNA synthesis was inhibited, the genome of the ICP4 deletion mutant d120 failed to assume an endless conformation following infection of Vero cells (compared with the ability of wild-type strain KOS). This defect was reversed in the Vero-derived cell line E5, which produces the ICP4 protein, suggesting that ICP4 is necessary and sufficient to complement the d120 defect. When ICP4 protein was provided by the replication-defective DNA polymerase mutant HP66, the genomes of mutant d120 could assume an endless conformation in Vero cells. Western blot analysis using antibody specific to the ICP4 protein showed that although the d120 virions contained ICP4 protein, the majority of that ICP4 protein was in a 40-kDa truncated form, with only a small fraction present as a full-length 175-kDa protein. When expression of ICP4 protein from E5 cells was inhibited by cycloheximide, the d120 virion-associated ICP4 protein was unable to mediate endless formation after infection of E5 cells. Collectively, these data suggest that ICP4 protein has an important role in mediating the endless formation of the HSV-1 genome upon infection and that this function can be provided in trans.

Abstract
In herpes simplex virus 1-infected cells, a high level of alpha gene expression requires the transactivation of the genes by a complex containing the viral alpha transinducing factor (alphaTIF) and two cellular proteins. The latter two, HCF-1 and octamer binding protein Oct-1, are transcriptional factors regulated in a cell cycle-dependent manner. alphaTIF is a protein made late in infection but packaged with the virion to transactivate viral genes in newly infected cells. In light of the accumulation of large amounts of alphaTIF, the absence of alpha gene expression late in infection suggested the possibility that one or more transcriptional factors required for alpha gene expression is modified late in infection. Here we report that Oct-1 is posttranscriptionally modified late in infection, that the modification is mediated by the virus but does not involve viral protein kinases or cdc2 kinase activated by the virus late in infection, and that the modified Oct-1 has a reduced affinity for its cognate DNA site. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that modification of Oct-1 transcriptional factor could account at least in part for the shutoff of alpha gene expression late in infection.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) structural protein VP22 exists in the cytoplasm early in infection and migrates to and accumulates in the nucleus late in infection (J. Virol. 73(8) (1999) 6769). The goal of this study is to document the behavior of VP22 in cells in the absence of other viral polypeptides. We characterized the effects of various indirect immunofluorescence sample preparation conditions on the localization of VP22 in cells and have determined the following. (i) Fixing with formaldehyde and permeabilizing with acetone maintains the structure of microtubules in cells, in as much as we observed classic microtubule organizing centers. (ii) Acetone or methanol alone did not completely fix the cells. (iii) Triton X-100 decreased tubulin immunofluorescence signals in our system. (iv) VP22 predominated in the nucleus of cells that were fixed with formaldehyde. Based on our results, we conclude the following. (v) Due to the partial fixation by acetone or methanol alone, microtubules form diffuse irregular shapes. (vi) VP22 is detected in the cytoplasm of cells fixed with acetone or methanol only due to its seepage from the nucleus. Taken together, these findings indicate that (vii) the nuclear localization of VP22 does not require additional viral factors.

Abstract
The UL49 gene product (VP22) of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) is a virion phosphoprotein which accumulates inside infected cells at late stages of infection. We previously (J. A. Blaho, C. Mitchell, and B. Roizman, J. Biol. Chem. 269:17401-17410, 1994) discovered that the form of VP22 packaged into infectious virions differed from VP22 extracted from infected-cell nuclei in that the virion-associated form had a higher electrophoretic mobility in denaturing gels. Based on these results, we proposed that VP22 in virions was "undermodified" in some way. The goal of this study is to document the biological and biochemical properties of VP22 throughout the entire course of a productive HSV-1 infection. We now report the following. (i) VP22 found in infected cells is distributed in at least three distinct subcellular localizations, which we define as cytoplasmic, diffuse, and nuclear, as measured by indirect immunofluorescence. (ii) Using a synchronized infection system, we determined that VP22 exists predominantly in the cytoplasm early in infection and accumulates in the nucleus late in infection. (iii) While cytoplasmic VP22 colocalizes with the HSV-1 glycoprotein D early in infection, the nuclear form of VP22 is not restricted to replication compartments which accumulate ICP4. (iv) VP22 migrates as at least three unique electrophoretic species in denaturing sodium dodecyl sulfate-DATD-polyacrylamide gels. VP22a, VP22b, and VP22c have high, intermediate, and low mobility, respectively. (v) The relative distribution of the various forms of VP22 derived from infected whole-cell extracts varies during the course of infection such that low-mobility species predominate at early times and high-mobility forms accumulate later. (vi) The highest-mobility forms of VP22 partition with the cytoplasmic fraction of infected cells, while the lowest-mobility forms are associated with the nuclear fraction. (vii) Finally, full-length VP22 which partitions in the nucleus incorporates radiolabel from [32P]orthophosphate whereas cytoplasmic VP22 does not. Based on these results, we conclude that modification of VP22 coincides with its appearance in the nucleus during the course of productive HSV-1 infection.

Abstract
The products of the alpha genes of herpes simplex virus 1, the infected cells proteins (ICP) 0, 4, 22, and 27 perform regulatory functions, are nucleotidylylated, and share the signaling or recognition sequence (RR(A/T)(P/S)R) that correctly predicted the nucleotidylylation of viral proteins encoded by UL21, UL31, UL49, and UL47 genes expressed later in infection. Extracts from uninfected HeLa cells or casein kinase II purified from sea star nucleotidylylated the ICP22 moiety of a glutathione S-transferase-ICP22 (GST22P) fusion protein with [alpha-32P]ATP or [2-3H]ATP. We report that: (i) Purified HeLa cell casein kinase II specifically labeled a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein containing the amino-terminal 151 amino acids of ICP22 with [2-3H]ATP. (ii) Nucleotidylylation of GST-ICP22 by purified enzyme exhibited positive cooperativity (Hill coefficient of 2 and a K' of 3.7 microM) and a Km = 37.7 microM for ATP. (iii) Nucleotidylylation was inhibited by heparin, casein, or ATPalphaS but not by ATPgammaS. (iv) Mutation of the signaling sequence from RRAPRR to LKAPEK abolished nucleotidylylation. We conclude that nucleotidylylation of proteins by casein kinase II requires the presence of the signaling or recognition sequence, involves the cleavage of the phosphodiester bond between the alpha and beta phosphate, and need not be preceded by phosphorylation.

Abstract
An earlier report showed that a disabled mutant lacking both copies of the major regulatory gene (alpha4) of herpes simplex virus 1 induced DNA degradation characteristic of apoptosis in infected cells, whereas the wild-type virus protected cells from apoptosis induced by thermal shock. More extensive analyses of the disabled mutant revealed a second mutation which disabled US3, a viral gene encoding a protein kinase known to phosphorylate serine/threonine within a specific arginine-rich consensus sequence. Analyses of cells infected with a viral mutant carrying a wild-type alpha4 gene but from which the US3 gene had been deleted showed that it induced fragmentation of cellular DNA, whereas a recombinant virus in which the deleted sequences of the US3 gene had been restored did not cause the cellular DNA to fragment. These results point to the protein kinase encoded by the US3 gene as the principal viral product required to block apoptosis.

Abstract
The ordered expression of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) genes, during the course of a productive infection, requires the action of the virus immediate-early regulatory proteins. Using a protein interaction assay, we demonstrate specific in vitro protein-protein interactions between ICP4 and ICP27, two immediate-early proteins of HSV-1 that are essential for virus replication. We map multiple points of contact between these proteins. Furthermore, by coimmunoprecipitation experiments, we demonstrate the following. (i) ICP4-ICP27 complexes are present in extracts from HSV-1 infected cells. (ii) ICP27 binds preferentially to less modified forms of ICP4, a protein that is extensively modified posttranslationally. We also demonstrate, by performing electrophoretic mobility shift assays and supershifts with monoclonal antibodies to ICP4 or ICP27, that both proteins are present in a DNA-protein complex with a noncanonical ICP4 binding site present in the HSV thymidine kinase (TK) gene. ICP4, in extracts from cells infected with ICP27-deficient viruses, is impaired in its ability to form complexes with the TK site but not with the canonical site from the alpha4 gene. However, ICP4 is able to form complexes with the TK probe, in the absence of ICP27, when overproduced in mammalian cells or expressed in bacteria. These data suggest that the inability of ICP4 from infected cell extracts to bind the TK probe in the absence of ICP27 does not reflect a requirement for the physical presence of ICP27 in the complex. Rather, they imply that ICP27 is likely to modulate the DNA binding activity of ICP4 by affecting its posttranslational modification status. Therefore, we propose that ICP27, in addition to its established role as a posttranscriptional regulator of virus gene expression, may also modulate transcription either through direct or indirect interactions with HSV regulatory regions, or through its ability to modulate the DNA binding activity of ICP4.

Abstract
The immediate-early gene product, ICP4, of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is one of the major transcriptional regulatory proteins in the virus replicative process and is localized primarily within the nucleus soon after its synthesis. Earlier studies have shown that detectable amounts of ICP4 are also associated with the plasma membranes of infected cells (F. Yao and R. J. Courtney, J. Virol. 65:1516-1524, 1991). To extend our understanding of the properties of the membrane-associated ICP4, we have used various electrophoretic techniques, including sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, and isoelectric focusing, to compare the membrane- and nuclear-associated forms of ICP4. The data from all of these methods revealed that a single unique form of ICP4 associates with plasma membranes of HSV-1-infected cells. While multiple forms of ICP4 were detected in infected cell nuclei, the membrane-associated form of ICP4 appeared to have a lower apparent molecular weight and a more acidic pI than the various forms of ICP4 found in infected cell nuclei. These results suggest that a novel form of ICP4 may associate with plasma membranes of HSV-1-infected cells. A recombinant adenovirus, AdICP4 (encoding an ICP4 protein), was used to determine the role that other herpesvirus proteins may play in the membrane association of ICP4. The results suggest that the expression of other HSV-1 proteins is not required for the membrane association of ICP4.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PADPRP) modifies nuclear proteins in response to DNA-damaging agents. The principal organ subject to exposure to many of these agents is the skin. To understand the role of PADPRP in the maintenance of the epidermis, a model system has been developed in which we have selectively lowered the levels of this enzyme by the use of induced expression of antisense RNA. Human keratinocyte lines were stably transfected with the cDNA for human PADPRP in the antisense orientation under an inducible promoter. Induction of this antisense RNA in cultured cells selectively lowers the levels of PADPRP mRNA, protein, and enzyme activity. Induction of antisense RNA also led to a reduction in the levels of PADPRP in individual cell nuclei, as well as the loss of the ability of cells to synthesize and modify proteins by poly(ADP-ribose) polymer in response to DNA damage. When keratinocyte clones containing the antisense construct or empty vector alone were grafted onto nude mice, they formed histologically normal human skin. The PADPRP antisense construct was also inducible in vivo by the topical application of dexamethasone to the reconstituted epidermis. In addition, poly(ADP-ribose) polymer could be induced and detected in vivo following the topical application of a DNA alkylating agent to the grafted transfected skin layers. Accordingly, a model system has been developed in which the levels of PADPRP can be selectively manipulated in human keratinocytes in cell culture, and potentially in reconstituted epidermis as well. This system will be a useful tool to study the role of PADPRP and DNA repair in general in essential biologic processes in the epidermis.

Abstract
Infected cell protein no. 4 (ICP4), the major regulatory protein encoded by the alpha 4 gene of herpes simplex virus 1, binds to a site (alpha 4-2) at the transcription initiation site of the alpha 4 gene. An earlier report described the construction of recombinant viruses that contained chimeric genes (alpha 4-tk) that consisted of the 5' untranscribed and transcribed noncoding domains of the alpha 4 gene fused to the coding sequences of the thymidine kinase gene and showed that disruption of the alpha 4-2 binding site by mutagenesis derepressed transcription of this gene (N. Michael and B. Roizman, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:2286-2290, 1993). This experimental design was used to determine the effect of displacement of the alpha 4-2 binding site on the repression of alpha 4 gene transcription by ICP4. We report the following findings. (i) In the absence of the alpha 4-2 binding site, at 4 h after infection, alpha 4-tk RNA levels increased 10-fold relative to the corresponding RNA levels of a gene that contained the alpha 4-2 site at its natural location. Displacement of the alpha 4-2 binding site by approximately one, two, and three turns of the DNA helix, i.e., by 10, 21, and 30 nucleotides downstream of the original site, increased the concentration of alpha 4-tk RNA 2.4-, 3.5-, and 5.8-fold, respectively. (ii) Displacement of 16 nucleotides, i.e., approximately 1.5 helical turns, increased the accumulation of alpha 4-tk by 5.3-fold, i.e., more than predicted by displacement alone. (iii) At 8 h after infection in the absence of the binding site, the accumulation of alpha 4-tk RNA increased 13.6-fold. However, in cells infected with recombinants that carried displaced alpha 4-2 binding sites, RNA accumulation decreased relative to the levels seen at 4 h after infection. The insertion of DNA sequences in order to displace the alpha 4-2 binding site had no effect on accumulation of RNA in the presence of cycloheximide, i.e., in the absence of ICP4, or on maximum accumulation of alpha 4-tk RNA in the absence of the alpha 4-2 binding site.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PADPRP) is biologically significant in the rejoining of DNA strand breaks. Post confluent cultures of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes showed marked increases in PADPRP protein and activity when the cells were induced to differentiate into adipocytes. When this increase in PADPRP expression was prevented in stably transfected 3T3-L1 cells by induction of PADPRP antisense RNA synthesis, the cells did not differentiate nor undergo the two or three rounds of DNA replication that are required for initiation of the differentiation process. 3T3-L1 cells expressing PADPRP antisense RNA under differentiation conditions were easily detached from plates and in some cases eventually died. When newly expressed PADPRP protein and DNA synthesis was assessed in cells at zero time or at 24 h after induction of differentiation by incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine or [3H]thymidine into DNA, significant incorporation was shown to occur in control cells after 24 h, but not in antisense cells. Furthermore, during the first 24 h, the co-immunoprecipitation of PADPRP and DNA polymerase alpha was observed in control cells, whereas no such complex formation was noted in the induced antisense cells, nor in uninduced control cells.

Abstract
With an in vitro DNA repair system, Satoh and Lindah [(1992) Nature 356, 356-358] demonstrated that unmodified poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PADPRP) binds to radiation-damaged DNA and inhibits repair in the absence of NAD. However, in the presence of NAD, PADPRP undergoes automodification and the DNA is repaired. It was hypothesized that PADPRP cycles between an unmodified form, which protects DNA breaks, and an automodified form, which is released from DNA, thereby allowing access to repair enzymes. We have now tested this model with bacterially expressed mutants of PADPRP with deletions in the three major functional domains of the enzyme [Cherney, B. W., Chaudry, B., Bhatia, K., Butt, T. R., & Smulson, M. E. (1991) Biochemistry 30, 10420-10427]. Deletion mutants with an intact amino-terminal DNA-binding domain, and therefore capable of binding to DNA strand breaks in the in vitro assay, inhibited repair; however, whether the deletion was in the NAD-binding, active site domain or the automodification domain, the inhibition of repair exerted by these mutant proteins was not alleviated by NAD. A PADPRP mutant with a deletion in the DNA-binding domain did not inhibit DNA repair. Thus, the behavior of these PADPRP deletion mutants is consistent with the model proposed earlier. The model was also supported by experiments with Manley extracts of HeLa cells stably transfected with a PADPRP antisense RNA construct. Extracts of cells induced to express antisense RNA did not markedly inhibit in vitro DNA repair, nor did the addition of NAD influence the assay. In contrast, noninduced cell extracts inhibited repair and inhibition was alleviated by NAD.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus genes form several groups whose expression is coordinately regulated and sequentially ordered in a cascade fashion. Most of the products of the first group, the alpha genes, appear to have regulatory functions. We report that the alpha proteins, infected cell proteins 4, 0, 22, and 27 of herpes simplex virus 1 and 4, 0, and 27 of herpes simplex virus 2, were labeled in the isolated nuclei of infected HeLa cells with [alpha-32P]GTP or [alpha-32P]ATP late in infection and that these proteins represent the largest group of virus-specific proteins labeled in this fashion. Studies with [2-3H]ATP, in which the label is in the purine ring, showed that a portion of the label in alpha proteins and in at least one other infected cell protein is due to nucleotidylylation. Analyses of the labeling reactions in nuclei of (i) cells infected with temperature-sensitive mutants at nonpermissive temperatures, (ii) cells infected with wild-type virus and harvested at different times postinfection, and (iii) cells treated with inhibitors of protein synthesis or of synthesis of viral DNA led to the conclusion that viral gene functions expressed after the synthesis of alpha proteins are required for the labeling of the alpha proteins with [alpha-32P]GTP. We conclude that several of the alpha proteins are extensively posttranslationally modified and that these modifications include nucleotidylylation.
