Herpes simplex virus DNA polymerase, thymidine kinase and deoxyribonuclease activities in cells infected with wild type, ultraviolet-irradiated and defective virus. 1979

Y Becker, and B Gutter, and Y Cohen, and N Chejanovsky, and S Rabkin, and B Fridlender

The DNA polymerase, thymidine kinase and deoxyribonuclease activities were studied in cells infected with wild type (wt), ultraviolet (UV)-irradiated and defective herpes simplex virus type 1. All three enzymatic activities were expressed in cells infected with wt virus. In cells infected with UV-irradiated virus, the thymidine kinase and deoxyribonuclease activities were inhibited and the DNA polymerase activity was markedly suppressed. In cells producing defective virus, there was thymidine kinase activity, but the viral deoxyribonuclease activity was considerably reduced. The DNA polymerase activity was fully expressed in cells producing defective virus at passage level 5, but at passage level 6, the activity of the viral DNA polymerase declined.

D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D003673 Defective Viruses Viruses which lack a complete genome so that they cannot completely replicate or cannot form a protein coat. Some are host-dependent defectives, meaning they can replicate only in cell systems which provide the particular genetic function which they lack. Others, called SATELLITE VIRUSES, are able to replicate only when their genetic defect is complemented by a helper virus. Incomplete Viruses,Defective Hybrids,Defective Hybrid,Defective Virus,Hybrid, Defective,Hybrids, Defective,Incomplete Virus,Virus, Defective,Virus, Incomplete,Viruses, Defective,Viruses, Incomplete
D003851 Deoxyribonucleases Enzymes which catalyze the hydrolases of ester bonds within DNA. EC 3.1.-. DNAase,DNase,Deoxyribonuclease,Desoxyribonuclease,Desoxyribonucleases,Nucleases, DNA,Acid DNase,Alkaline DNase,DNA Nucleases,DNase, Acid,DNase, Alkaline
D004259 DNA-Directed DNA Polymerase DNA-dependent DNA polymerases found in bacteria, animal and plant cells. During the replication process, these enzymes catalyze the addition of deoxyribonucleotide residues to the end of a DNA strand in the presence of DNA as template-primer. They also possess exonuclease activity and therefore function in DNA repair.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013937 Thymidine Kinase An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ATP and thymidine to ADP and thymidine 5'-phosphate. Deoxyuridine can also act as an acceptor and dGTP as a donor. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 2.7.1.21. Deoxythymidine Kinase,Deoxypyrimidine Kinase,Kinase, Deoxypyrimidine,Kinase, Deoxythymidine,Kinase, Thymidine
D014466 Ultraviolet Rays That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately below the visible range and extending into the x-ray frequencies. The longer wavelengths (near-UV or biotic or vital rays) are necessary for the endogenous synthesis of vitamin D and are also called antirachitic rays; the shorter, ionizing wavelengths (far-UV or abiotic or extravital rays) are viricidal, bactericidal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic and are used as disinfectants.
