Synthesis of herpes simplex virus DNA in preparations of chromatin from infected cell nuclei. 1978

R T Hay, and J Hay

Chromatin prepared from cells infected with Herpes simplex virus type 1 or type 2 can synthesize both virus and cell DNA in vitro. The rate of synthesis is comparable to that of isolated whole nuclei. Incorporation is limited, and both cell and virus DNA synthesis are sensitive to the presence of virus-specific antiserum and phosphonoacetate. In chromatin from cells infected with a phosphonoacetate resistant virus mutant, both types of DNA synthesis are resistant to the presence of the inhibitor.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010746	Phosphonoacetic Acid	A simple organophosphorus compound that inhibits DNA polymerase, especially in viruses and is used as an antiviral agent.	Phosphonoacetate,Disodium Phosphonoacetate,Fosfonet Sodium,Phosphonacetic Acid,Phosphonoacetate, Disodium
D002460	Cell Line	Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely.	Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D002467	Cell Nucleus	Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed)	Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D002843	Chromatin	The material of CHROMOSOMES. It is a complex of DNA; HISTONES; and nonhistone proteins (CHROMOSOMAL PROTEINS, NON-HISTONE) found within the nucleus of a cell.	Chromatins
D004247	DNA	A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004279	DNA, Viral	Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of viruses.	Viral DNA
D013347	Subcellular Fractions	Components of a cell produced by various separation techniques which, though they disrupt the delicate anatomy of a cell, preserve the structure and physiology of its functioning constituents for biochemical and ultrastructural analysis.
