ABSTRACT
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) DNA replication is associated with nuclear domains called ND10, which contain host recombination proteins such as RPA, RAD51, and NBS1 and participate in the cell's response to DNA damage. The stages of HSV-1 infection have been described previously. Infected cells at stage IIIa are observed after the initial disruption of ND10 and display nuclear foci, or prereplicative sites, containing the viral single-stranded-DNA-binding protein (UL29), the origin-binding protein (UL9), and the heterotrimeric helicase-primase. At stage IIIb, the viral polymerase, its processivity factor, and the ND10, protein PML, are also recruited to these sites. In this work, RPA, RAD51, and NBS1 were observed predominantly in stage IIIb but not stage IIIa prereplicative sites, suggesting that the efficient recruitment of these recombination proteins is dependent on the presence of the viral polymerase and other replication proteins within these sites. On the other hand, Ku86 was not found in any of the precursors to replication compartments, suggesting that it is excluded from the early stages of HSV-1 replication. Western blot analysis showed that RPA and NBS1 were (hyper)phosphorylated during infection, indicating that infection induces the host response to DNA damage. Finally, RPA, RAD51, and NBS1 were found to be associated with UL29 foci observed in transfected cells expressing UL29 and the helicase-primase heterotrimer and containing intact ND10. The ability to recruit recombination and repair proteins to various subassemblies of viral replication proteins thus appears to depend on several factors, including the presence of the viral polymerase and/or UL9 within prereplicative sites and the integrity of ND10.
