| Abstract | The glycoprotein complex gp82-gp105 is a major virion envelope glycoprotein complex of human herpesvirus 6 variant A (HHV-6A) and consists of a number of related polypeptides. Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) 2D4, 2D6, and 13D6 against this glycoprotein complex neutralized HHV-6A infectivity. We have previously reported the isolation, mapping, and characterization of a portion of the viral genomic DNA fragment encoding the gp82-gp105 complex and the identification of the neutralizing epitope (B. Pfeiffer, Z. N. Berneman, F. Neipel, C. K. Chang, S. Tirwatnapong, and B. Chandran, J. Virol. 67:4611-4620, 1993). This gene was further characterized by the identification of a 2.3-kb genomic fragment and by the identification of a 2.5-kb cDNA clone. The genomic sequence contains a short open reading frame (ORF) encoding the epitope recognized by the MAbs. The identified cDNA showed specificity for HHV-6 in Southern blot analysis with viral DNA. In Northern (RNA) blot analysis with total RNA from HHV-6A(GS)-infected cells, the cDNA insert specifically hybridized with several RNA species. Restriction mapping analysis localized this cDNA to the HHV-6A(U1102) genomic BamHI G fragment, at the right end of the unique long segment of the genome and to the SalI L and SalI O fragments within the left and right terminal direct repeat regions, respectively. In vitro transcription and translation of the cDNA revealed a polypeptide of about 88.5 kDa which was glycosylated in the presence of microsomal membranes to a polypeptide of approximately 104.2 kDa. Both polypeptides were immunoprecipiated by MAb 2D6, verifying the identity of the cDNA as encoding the gp105 in the gp82-gp105 complex. Sequence analysis of the cDNA revealed a large ORF potentially encoding a 650-amino-acid protein with 11 potential N-linked glycosylation sites and 18 cysteine residues. A potential membrane-spanning domain is located only near the amino terminus of the putative protein, indicating that gp105 may be a class 2 glycoprotein. Comparison of the cDNA nucleotide sequence with sequences from HHV-6A(U1102) genomic BamHI G and SalI L fragments revealed that the gene encoding gp105 contains 12 exons, spanning over 20 kb of the viral genome, with intron 1 spanning about 8 kb of genomic DNA. The first exon of the cDNA mapped to the right and left terminal direct repeats, while the other exons mapped within the unique long segment of the genome.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
