The particle to infectivity ratio (input genomes divided by the number of green cells) was calculated
to determine the minimum number of genomes required to produce one transduced cell that
expressed GFP. It has been shown that this mutant displayed 3 log lower amount of mRNA copy
numbers when compared to wild-type capsid (98). Moreover, biosynthesis of signal recognition
particle RNA and telomerase RNA occur partly in nucleolus. Newly synthesized viral proteins
interact with DNA at early steps. The total list divided into groups depending on the occurrence of
individual proteins in triplicate experiments. The current consensus is that primary receptor binding
serves to localize the virus to the cell surface and the co-receptor serves to bring the virus into the
cells into an early endosome compartment. Our method cannot discriminate if these proteins are
interacting with individual viral proteins or mature capsids. Cell surface receptors: for insulin,
epinephrine, glucagon. Mutation of residue E563, which is within 3A of Y704 and adjacent to E564,
eliminates the capsid protease activity (99). Virology 257:373-382. 93. Quesada, O., B. Gurda, L.

mutants of the dead zone could also eliminate the protease activity, thereby preventing digestion of a
cellular factor that inhibits transcription of AAV genomes. The role of viral and cellular DNA is also
need to be addressed. Table 4-2. DNA replication and chromosome maintenance proteins. In our
study we aimed to identify the underlying phenomena of inhibited transduction at the two-fold axis
specifically on the dead zone area. For instance, deletion of a sequence that represses expression of a
gene should. Genomic map of AAV. Upper panel presents genomic organization of wild- type AAVs

(transgene) could be expressed in the targeted cell and the aberrant genetic activities can be
corrected. FIG: Possible positions for control sequences in the region upstream of a gene. The two
remaining mutants, D528A and mut22, were found to also have a defect in cell entry (Figure 3-7).
We took advantage of eliminating other cellular organelles to exclude AAV events not relating to
assembly. The defect in transcription of these mutants correlated well with their decrease in
transduction (compare Figure 3-6 with Figure 3- 12). Instead, like Y704A, these mutants are
defective in transcription of the genome after second strand synthesis (Figure 3-11). Non-infectious
empty capsids also exist and they don’t contain viral DNA. Human molecular genetics 20:422-435.

of the mutants, formerly considered as trafficking deficient, displayed the same characteristics when
it comes to making transgene RNA, GFP mRNA in our case. This neutral protease activity was
consistent with a model in which the AAV capsid cleaves a cellular substrate sometime after its
release from the endosome into the cytoplasm or in the nucleus. This resulted in the identification of
70 highly positive candidates. This construct enhances the translocation of viral proteins into the

Preliminary transfection experiments showed that the tagged virus assembled as well as wt virus
producing similar titers. Our data also demonstrated that the dead zone mutant Y704A cannot be
complemented by coinfection with wt virus, and that it does not exert a dominant negative effect on
wt mediated gene expression (Figure 3-13). Journal of virology 84:12945-12957. 76. Nicolson, S. C.,

the AAV1 and 2 atomic structures were virtually identical, but AAV4 and 5, whose amino acid
sequence had diverged in this region, were dissimilar. We also studied virion assembly events to

response to their changing environment In multicellular eukaryotes, gene expression regulates
development and is responsible for differences in cell types. It has been suggested, for example, that
the pH mediated structural change leads to the extrusion of the VP1 N-terminal amino acid
sequences that contain the phospholipase activity, the nuclear localization signals as well as other
sequences that interact with cellular proteins (52, 90). Each fraction was adjusted to 200 ?L (post

matched with the string database interaction maps. Silencing of these proteins by RNA interference
may reduce the number of assembled virions and provide another line of evidence to obtain
information about this very important AAV life cycle event. 89 LIST OF REFERENCES 1. Ahmad,

The virus replicates its DNA in the nucleus using cellular and some helper virus genes as well as the

we observed that mutants and neutralized capsids produced 3-5 log less mRNA copies than wild-

Moreover, it has been shown that capsid proteins which are directed to nucleolus by HIV Rev
nucleolus-signal were not able to assemble capsids although they were localized to nucleolus. It has
been shown that nucleolus hosts not only ribosomal RNA molecules but also other small nucleolar
RNA molecules that don’t take part in ribosomal biogenesis (84). The magnitude of deficiency was
remarkably high, although varied among the mutants. Some members of this family shuttle in and
out of nuclei, though some are constitutively nuclear (101, 108, 111, 121, 141). Table 4-5. Splicing

fractions (soluble nuclear fraction and post nuclear pellet) were obtained using the NE-PER kit
(Thermo Scientific, Grand Island, NY), fractions were adjusted to 200 ?L with benzonase buffer (10
mM Tris pH7.5, 5 mM MgCl2) and then split in half. Previous work had mapped the A20 binding
site to a set of amino acids near the 2-fold interface (59, 64) and mutational analysis implicated a set
of 5 amino acids between K692 and mut22 on the capsid surface (Figure 3-5, green residues). Over-
expression of these RNA components may provide information where the approach to assembly can
be extended. Although AAV structure dictates a strong mechanism where single-stranded DNA and
protein interacts, it is to our surprise that the location where assembly occurred is remarkably
enriched with RNA-RNA and RNA-protein interactions. Thus, even these mutants had a severe
defect in transcription of their genomes once they were uncoated in the nucleus. Bursitis is

indicate standard error. A20 was identified as a conformational antibody that interrupted AAV
infection after the capsid entered the nucleus (36, 109, 131) and we, therefore, also characterized the
defect in virus bound to A20 antibody. Their mutants overlapped with the extremely defective Wu et
al mutants and all of these mutants were located within a 30 A diameter region that Lochrie et al
called the “dead zone”. Their absence shows up as a “footprint”, clearly seen in. Major helper
