New insights into virus proteome: Unknown proteins of the herpesvirus discovered
Posted: November 24, 2012 at 7:43 pm
ScienceDaily (Nov. 23, 2012) The genome encodes the complete information needed by an organism, including that required for protein production. Viruses, which are up to a thousand times smaller than human cells, have considerably smaller genomes. Using a type of herpesvirus as a model system, the scientists of the Max Planck Institute (MPI) of Biochemistry in Martinsried near Munich and their collaboration partners at the University of California in San Francisco have shown that the genome of this virus contains much more information than previously assumed.
The researchers identified several hundred novel proteins, many of which were surprisingly small. The results of the study have now been published in Science.
More than 80 percent of the world's population is infected with the herpesvirus, which can cause severe diseases in newborns and in persons with weakened immune system. Researchers had already sequenced the herpesvirus genome 20 years ago, thinking they could then predict all proteins that the virus produces (virus proteome). Now scientists from the research department of Matthias Mann, director at the MPI of Biochemistry, and their American colleagues have analyzed the information content of the genome more precisely.
Small but highly complex
To carry out their study, the scientists infected cells with herpesvirus and observed which proteins the virus produced inside the cell over a period of 72 hours. In order for proteins to be produced at all, the cell machinery must first make copies of the genetic material as intermediate products (RNA). While investigating the intermediate products of the herpesvirus, the American collaborators discovered many novel RNA molecules which were in large part surprisingly short.
They also found that the organization of information required for protein production in the virus genome was far more complex than previously assumed. Annette Michalski, a scientist in the Department of Proteomics and Signal Transduction at the MPI of Biochemistry, was subsequently able to confirm directly the predicted viral proteins in the infected cell using mass spectrometry. This method enables an overview of the complete proteome of the virus-infected cell.
The results of the American and German researchers provide detailed insight into the complex mechanisms used by the virus. "We showed that it's not enough merely to know the virus genome to understand the biology of the herpesvirus," Annette Michalski said. "What is important is to look at the products actually produced from the genome." Even human genes may be much more complex than the genome sequence itself indicates, commented the researchers. Matthias Mann and his colleagues plan to investigate this question further in the coming years.

November Baby, Thanksgiving OOTD, and 100% Pure Cosmetics Giveaway Contest!
Happy Thanksgiving! Since tis the season of thanks and giving, thought it would be the opportune time to do a giveaway! This giveaway features products from 100% Pure Cosmetics, one of the top eco-beauty brands in the Bay Area of California, USA. They started out in the Eastbay and have now expanded into the Southbay. Their ingredients are certified organic by the USDA and personally have been using them for years without any issues of it triggering my eczema or breakouts. In fact, I would dare to say their products do the opposite and help heal and fortify skin. It #39;s never been better. So to enter this contest, you just need to do 2 things: 1. Subscribe to my Youtube channel 2. Comment below on your favorite eco-friendly/green beauty brand/product. Or tell me about a product you have trouble finding for your skincare or makeup routine that you would like to find out about. I #39;ve been my own guinea pig for as long as I can remember, so I #39;ve tried as many products that say they are "hypoallergenic" as possible (as well as keep searching for new and upcoming brands) and can probably direct you to a brand or two to help with your needs. Also, I wrote a blog for Thanksgiving on what I #39;m thankful for this year. It also lists a number of other eco-beauty brands that are hypoallergenic and that I #39;ve personally tested to verify this. You can read it here (it also has lots of pictures :)): terryalabata.wordpress.com I also included my OOTD for fun. Love dressing up!
