  • poor growth of Human Adenovirus 12 compared to Adenovirus 2 correlates with a failure to impair pkr activation during the late phase of infection
    Virology, 2015
    Co-Authors: Lufeng Bai, Charles E Samuel, Goran Akusjarvi, Catharina Svensson
    Abstract:

    Human Adenovirus type 12 (HAdV-12) displays a relatively low virulence and slow replication in cultured Human cells, which is manifested by premature death of HAdV-12-infected cells. Whereas HAdV-2 induction of IFN-β expression was transient, HAdV-12-infected cells maintained high levels of IFN-β expression, protein kinase R (PKR) activation and eIF-2α phosphorylation throughout the infectious cycle. The importance of the IFN-inducible PKR kinase in restriction of HAdV-12 was supported by the enhanced growth of the virus following PKR knockdown in HeLa cells. Ectopic expression of HAdV-2 VA RNAI increased HAdV-12 hexon protein expression, suggesting that insufficient VA RNA expression contributes to the restricted growth of HAdV-12. Although some Adenovirus species are known to persist in Human lymphoid tissues, HAdV12 has so far not been found. Thus, it is possible that the inability of HAdV12 to evade the INF response may have implications for the virus to establish long-lasting or persistent infections.
