A significant and global decrease in viral gene expression occurs with deletion of the carboxyl terminal domain of the human cytomegalovirus essential protein pUL34


ABSTRACT: The human cytomegalovirus UL34 gene encodes sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins and is essential for viral replication. Functionally, UL34 proteins (pUL34) repress expression of the viral immune evasion genes, US3 and US9. The amino terminal domain of pUL34 is sufficient for nuclear localization, DNA-binding and transcriptional repression. A virus lacking the entire carboxyl terminal of pUL34 was replication competent; however, deletion of the carboxyl terminal domain significantly impaired viral replication. There was a significant decrease in the transcription of viral genes at 4 hours post-infection following infection with the mutant virus which lacks the entire carboxyl terminal end of UL34 (UL34-COOH) relative to wild type virus, and an associated decrease in protein expression levels. Viral gene expression for the mutant virus was also decreased at 48 hpi but to a much smaller degree.
