Polyglutamine Repeats in Viruses 2018-09-04 .txt text/plain 6195 301 45 While the mechanisms for the function and toxicity of extended polyQ segments (or the nucleic regions that encode them) in eukaryotic proteins continue to be actively studied [16] , there has been little exploration of their occurrence and possible roles, even in neurovirulent viruses. At the start of this work, the ViPR database [29] , which allows rapid access to the published sequences of over 75,000 viral genomes or genome segments, was used to determine which RNA and DNA viruses contain polyQ repeats. As discussed below, the longest repeats were found in DNA virus proteins that function in enhancing transmissibility (cowpox ATI) or contribute to viral latency (herpes viruses). Under growth conditions allowing the virus to resume lytic growth, where the enzyme activity is required to ensure efficient replication, the region Fig. 2 Soluble polyQ segments (of cell or viral origin) may prevent beclin-1-induced autophagy, which depends on the DNA binding ability of the polyQ segment of wt-ataxin-3 (based on [2, 67] ). ./cache/cord-288879-rj03dsib.txt ./txt/cord-288879-rj03dsib.txt
