- W2112960368 abstract "ABSTRACT We have previously reported that a newly annotated gene of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), UL21a, encodes an early viral protein termed pUL21a. Most notably, the virions of a UL21a deletion virus had markedly reduced infectivity, indicating that UL21a is required to establish an efficient productive infection. In this study, we infected fibroblasts with equal numbers of DNA-containing viral particles and identified where in the viral life cycle pUL21a acted. The UL21a deletion virus entered cells and initiated viral gene expression efficiently; however, it synthesized viral DNA poorly and accumulated several immediate-early (IE) transcripts at reduced levels at late times of infection. The defect in viral DNA synthesis preceded that in gene expression, and inhibition of viral DNA synthesis reduced the late accumulation of IE transcripts in both wild-type and mutant virus-infected cells to equivalent levels. This suggests that reduced viral DNA synthesis is the cause of reduced IE gene expression in the absence of UL21a. The growth of UL21a deletion virus was similar to that of recombinant HCMV in which pUL21a expression was abrogated by stop codon mutations, and the defect was rescued in pUL21a-expressing fibroblasts. pUL21a expression in trans was sufficient to restore viral DNA synthesis and gene expression of mutant virus produced from normal fibroblasts, whereas mutant virus produced from complementing cells still exhibited the defect in normal fibroblasts. Thus, pUL21a does not promote the functionality of HCMV virions; rather, its de novo synthesis facilitates viral DNA synthesis, which is necessary for the late accumulation of IE transcripts and establishment of a productive infection." @default.
