    1) Herpesviruses are classified into three groups - Alphaherpesviruses, Betaherpesviruses, and Gammaherpesviruses. Important human herpesviruses include HSV-1, HSV-2, VZV, EBV, HCMV. 2) These viruses cause diverse diseases like oral and genital herpes, chickenpox, shingles, infectious mononucleosis, and cytomegalovirus infection. 3) Herpesviruses enter host cells, transport their DNA to the nucleus, and hijack the host cell to produce new virus particles, which then exit and infect other cells. Latent infections can also occur.

    SCHEMATIC REPRESENTATION of a HERPESVIRUS PARTICLE

    THE HSV GENOME

    The linear 152kbp genome contains 3 origins of DNA replication and about 80 ORFs.

    HSV DNA replication is by a rolling circle mechanism which takes place in discreet HSV replication compartments.
    Replication generates long progeny HSV DNA concatamers which are cleaved and packaged into progeny viral particles.

    CYTOPATHIC EFFECT PRODUCED by HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS (HSV) in CELL CULTURE

    MAJOR HSV-1 PROTEINS


    THE TEGUMENT PROTEINS
    Of the 22 proteins in the HSV tegument , four are structural, while four other proteins are important in altering the environment of the newly-infected cell. Major tegument proteins include:VP 16 (-TIF/transcription initiating factor-coded by gene UL48). ICP0 and ICP4 or immediate early proteins. ICP4:

    THE or IMMEDIATE EARLY (IE) PROTEINS


    - essential for transcription

    ICP-27: - regulator of gene expression ICP-0: - promiscuous transactivator; degrades cellular repressors of HSV DNA transcription

    ICP-22/ - deregulate the infected cell Us1.5: cycle ICP-47: - primarily a pathogenic protein

    The vhs protein (virion host shut-off protein).

    All the IE proteins are also defined by possessing VP16-response (TAATGARAT) elements within their promoters. 6 (ICP = Infectious cell polypeptide: Us = Unique short)

    ENTRY of HSV-1 into HOST CELLS


    gB fusogen; essential for cell entry gD - essential for cell fusion and penetration
    gB Fusogen gH + gL Fusion Regulator gH + gL Receptors
    HSV CAPSID + DNA

    HSV Glycoproteins

    gD Fusion Trigger
    gD Receptors

    gH+gL complex gB Receptors essential for fusion and cell entry

    Host Cell

    HSV PROTEINS regulating or operating against HOST CELL METABOLISM


    Immediately after entering the cell the HSV-1 tegument protein, vhs, becomes free in the cell cytoplasm. The vhs protein:a). accelerates decay of host cell mRNA b). disrupts pre-existing host cell polysomes Replication of the HSV genome commences with transcription and expression of the HSV IE proteins. Activation and accumulation of these proteins drives transcription of the other viral genes and subverts host gene expression. In particular,

    a). ICP0 an E3 ubiquitin ligase destabilising specific cellular proteins that would otherwise inhibit the HSV life cycle. Creates a cellular environment favourable for HSV DNA transcription
    b). ICP 27 - inhibits the host cell splicing of pre-mRNA

    All the IE proteins contribute to a redirection of cell metabolism from synthesis of host proteins to synthesis of viral proteins, and develop an active and robust 8 environment.

    PROGRESSION of HSV and VIRAL DNA to CELL NUCLEUS


    After penetration into the cell cytoplasm, the viral envelope is lost. VP16 (500-1000 molecules) and the other tegument proteins are freed into the cytoplasm. The capsid containing the viral DNA and remnants of the tegument is transported to the nuclear membrane along the microtubule network. The capsid docks at the nuclear pore and this facilites release of the viral DNA into the nucleus.

    CHROMATIN and HSV DNA REPLICATION


    Chromatin is a complex of DNA and histones the nucleosome - through which DNA is structured and manoeuvered in the cell nucleus. Modifications of chromatin permit transcription processes. A nucleosome has a core of 8 histones, with DNA wrapped around the outside, and a single molecule of histone H1 to stabilise the complex. Two types of chromatin are recognised:Heterochromatin - highly condensed; DNA associated with it is inaccessible and therefore genetically inactive. Euchromatin - much less condensed allowing transcription of the associated DNA.

    THE NUCLEOSOME

    HOST CELL FACTOR (HCF-1), CHROMATIN and HSV LYTIC INFECTION


    HCF is a co-activator unable to bind DNA alone. With activated histone acetyl transferases (HATs), HCF causes chromatin modifications that increase gene expression by binding to an activator having a DNA binding domain such as HSV VP16.

    The chromatin modifications involving HCF are acetylation and methylation of the nucleosome histone core.
    HCF/HAT activity opens the nucleosomes in the control regions of the promoters close to the enhancers, by relaxing the connections between the histones and associated DNA. High levels of acetylation make the chromatin more active, allowing transcription. With low or absent HCF, transcription is reduced as the promoters and enhancers cannot be accessed by transactivating factors. 12

    VIRAL GENE CASCADE in LYTIC HSV INFECTION


    The entire process of HSV replication takes 18-20h in fully permissive cell cultures.
    Immediate Early () - genes -- transcribed and expressed from input viral DNA, induced by VP16 (-TIF) and responsible for synthesis of the 5 proteins (expressed 2-4h p.i.) -- Only transcribed after expression of the genes. (Maximal expression at 5-7h p.i.)

    Early () and Late () - genes

    Early () - genes
    Late (-1 and -2) genes

    -- Transcription and expression of the genes is not stimulated by viral DNA replication.
    -- -1 genes are transcribed and expressed (at low levels) even in the absence of viral DNA replication, but are greatly stimulated when viral DNA is replicating. -- -2 genes are not transcribed or expressed in the absence of viral DNA replication.

    MAJOR INTERACTIONS between HSV and the HOST CELL


    HSV infection: elicits changes in cell cycle regulatory circuits causing cells to exit the cell cycle and arrest in G1, favourable for viral replication. interferes with host cell signal transduction pathways. Represses host cell apoptotic pathways, preventing cell death prior to virus release. Disrupts cytokine-mediated signalling networks.

    Shingles in elderly patient

    Highly infectious disease usually occurring in children. Virus spread from the upper respiratory tract prior to appearance of rash.

    Virus present in skin lesions (as much as 1010 1011virions/ml). VZV causes severe infections in the immunocompromised.

    23

    THE EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS (EBV)


    The most common disease caused by EBV is infectious mononucleosis (glandular fever).
    About 70% of the worlds population are infected.

    Often asymptomatic, but symptoms can include sore throat, swollen cervical lymph nodes and mild fever. May run a prolonged, episodic, course over 12 years. Associated with the cancer, Burkitts Lymphoma in some parts of the world.
