The UL112/113 gene products of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) were shown by transient complementation ori Lyt-dependent DNA replication assay to be early viral proteins required for efficient viral DNA synthesis. By immunofluorescence analysis followed by fluorescence in situ hybridization, we showed that UL112/113 gene products of HCMV are colocalized with viral DNA prior to and during viral DNA replication in infected cell nuclei. We have used an anti-sense RNA approach for functional analysis of the UL112/113 gene in HCMV. The astrocytoma cell line U373-MG was used for permanent expression of the anti-sense UL112/113 gene. Expression of the anti-sense RNA in this cell line significantly blocked expression of UL112/113 gene products and viral DNA replication, indicating that the UL112/113 gene products are related to efficient viral DNA replication.

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
D003587 Cytomegalovirus A genus of the family HERPESVIRIDAE, subfamily BETAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting the salivary glands, liver, spleen, lungs, eyes, and other organs, in which they produce characteristically enlarged cells with intranuclear inclusions.
