Virus Mutation EBV Mutation C189V


Basic Characteristics of Mutations
Mutation Site C189V
Mutation Site Sentence Zta(C189A) and Zta(C189V) had higher non-specific binding to all four types of DNA. Our data suggests that position C189 in Zta impacts sequence-specific binding to DNA containing modified and unmodified cytosine.

Abstract Zta is a bZIP transcription factor (TF) in the Epstein-Barr virus that binds unmethylated and methylated DNA sequences. Substitution of cysteine 189 of Zta to serine (Zta(C189S)) results in a virus that is unable to execute the lytic cycle, which was attributed to a change in binding to methylated DNA sequences. To learn more about the role of this position in defining sequence-specific DNA binding, we mutated cysteine 189 to four other amino acids, producing Zta(C189S), Zta(C189T), Zta(C189A), and Zta(C189V) mutants. Zta and mutants were used in protein binding microarray (PBM) experiments to evaluate sequence-specific DNA binding to four types of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA): 1) with cytosine in both strands (DNA(C|C)), 2) with 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in one strand and cytosine in the second strand (DNA(5mC|C)), 3) with 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in one strand and cytosine in the second strand (DNA(5hmC|C)), and 4) with both cytosines in all CG dinucleotides containing 5mC (DNA(5mCG)). Zta(C189S) and Zta(C189T) bound the TRE (AP-1) motif (TGA(G)/(C)TCA) more strongly than wild-type Zta, while binding to other sequences, including the C/EBP half site GCAA was reduced. Binding of Zta(C189S) and Zta(C189T) to DNA containing modified cytosines (DNA(5mC|C), DNA(5hmC|C), and DNA(5mCG)) was reduced compared to Zta. Zta(C189A) and Zta(C189V) had higher non-specific binding to all four types of DNA. Our data suggests that position C189 in Zta impacts sequence-specific binding to DNA containing modified and unmodified cytosine.

Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
