Fall 2010
Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) establishes latent infections in neurons in vivo and lytic infections in epithelial cells and fibroblasts. During latent infections, HSV-1 transcription is restricted and the genomes are not replicated. Latent HSV-1 genomes are chromatinized, such that...

Discovery and characterization of the mobilization of linker and core histones during herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection
DownloadFall 2010
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) genomes associate with histones in unstable nucleosomes during lytic infections. Nucleosome core particles are 146 base pairs of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer of two molecules of each H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Histone H1 binds to nucleosomes at DNA entry...

One form of protein regulation is accomplished by post-translational modification (PTM). In order to test the importance one type of PTM, methylation, in chromosome segregation, we inhibited protein methylation for brief periods in G2 using the general methylation inhibitor adenosine dialdehyde...

Homology modeling of Suv39h1 and discovery of its small molecule inhibitors by virtual screening and their in vitro validation
DownloadFall 2013
Epigenetic modifications are carried out by specific enzymes and are reversible making them a viable and attractive target to design inhibitors to reset the epigenetic regulatory machinery of the cell and restore it to its normal state. Suppressor of variegation 3-9 homolog 1 (Suv39h1) is a...

Transcription and DNA replication of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) occur in nuclear domains adjacent to structures named ND10. The HSV-1 single-stranded DNA binding protein ICP8 localizes to these nuclear domains to direct the assembly of the pre- and replication compartments. Inhibition...
