Abstract: [cze] [eng]
Genom polyomavirů má podobu kruhové dsDNA (double-stranded DNA), která je ve virionech a během celého replikačního cyklu v komplexu s buněčnými histony. Komplex polyomavirové DNA s histony je tak vzhledem ke strukturní podobnosti s chromatinem eukaryot označován jako minichromozom. Stav chromatinu minichromozomu ovlivňuje transkripci a replikaci virové DNA, což by mohlo být využito vrozenou imunitní odpovědí buňky na virovou infekci. Složkou vrozené imunity, jež působí na virový chromatin, je nekanonický histon H3.3, jeho chaperon DAXX-ATRX (death domain associated protein 6-alpha-thalassemia, mental retardation X-linked syndrome) a proteinové komplexy zvané PML (promyelocytic leukemia protein). Pro indukci vrozené imunitní reakce je však nutná detekce molekul signalizujících infekci či buněčný stres. Během infekce myším polyomavirem (MPyV) je reakce spouštěna DNA senzorem cGAS (cyclic GMP-AMP synthase). V této diplomové práci byla sledována distribuce histonu H3.3, chaperonového komplexu DAXX- ATRX a proteinu PML v průběhu infekce MPyV. Histon byl posléze ve virovém chromatinu detekován hmotnostní spektrometrií. Data naznačují, že chaperonový komplex a protein PML by se mohly podílet na regulaci vkládání H3.3 do chromatinu MPyV. Pro další studium senzoru cGAS byl konstruován plazmid kódující... The genome of polyomaviruses is a circular dsDNA (double-stranded DNA) which is associated with cellular histones within virions and during the entire viral replication cycle. Given the structural similarity to eukaryotic chromatin, the complex of polyomaviral DNA with histones is called minichromosome. The chromatin state of minichromosomes influences viral transcription and replication which could be exploited by the host innate immune response. One of the components of innate immunity, that affects viral chromatin, is the non-canonical histone H3.3, its chaperone DAXX- ATRX (death domain associated protein 6-alpha-thalassemia, mental retardation X-linked syndrome) and protein complexes called PML (promyelocytic leukemia protein). In order to trigger the innate immune response, foreign and/or stress molecules have to detected. During mouse polyomavirus (MPyV) infection, the innate immune response is initiated via the DNA sensor cGAS (cyclic GMP- AMP synthase). In this master's thesis, the distribution of histone H3.3, its chaperone DAXX-ATRX and the PML protein was analyzed during infection with MPyV. Using mass spectrometry, the histone was detected within viral chromatin. The data suggest that the chaperone complex and PML are involved in the regulation of H3.3 incorporation into the chromatin...
