Abstract

The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) latency-associated transcripts (LATs) are dispensable for establishment and maintenance of latent infection. However, the LATs have been implicated in reactivation of the virus from its latent state. Since the reported LAT deletion and/or insertion variants that are reactivation impaired contain deletions in the putative LAT promoter, it is not known which LAT sequences are involved in reactivation. To examine the role of the 2.0-kb LAT in the process of reactivation and the functional importance of the putative open reading frames (ORF1 and ORF2) contained within the 2.0-kb LAT, we have constructed an HSV-1 variant that contains a precise deletion and insertion within the LAT-specific DNA sequences using site-directed mutagenesis. The HSV-1 variant FS1001K contains an 1,186-bp deletion starting precisely from the 5' end of the 2.0-kb LAT and, for identification, a XbaI restriction endonuclease site insertion. The FS1001K genome contains no other deletions and/or insertions as analyzed by a variety of restriction endonucleases. The deletion in FS1001K removes the entire 556-bp intron within the 2.0-kb LAT, the first 229 nucleotides of ORF1, and the first 159 nucleotides of ORF2 without having an affect on the RL2 (ICP0) gene. Explant cocultivation reactivation assays indicated that this deletion had a minimal effect on reactivation of the variant FS1001K compared with the parental wild-type virus using a mouse eye model. As expected, Northern (RNA) blot analyses have shown that the variant virus (FS1001K) does not produce the 2.0-kb LAT or the 1.45- to 1.5-kb LAT either in vitro or in vivo; however, FS1001K produces an intact RL2 transcript in tissue culture. These data suggest that the 2.0-kb LAT putative ORF1 and ORF2 (or the first 1,186 bp of the 2.0-kb LAT) are dispensable for explant reactivation of latent HSV-1.
