AbstractAbstract
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL99 encodes a late tegument protein pp28 that is essential for envelopment and production of infectious virus. This protein is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) in transfected cells but it localizes to the cytoplasmic assembly compartment (AC) in HCMV-infected cells. Trafficking of pp28 to the AC is required for the assembly of infectious virus. The N-terminal domain (aa 1-61) of pp28 is sufficient for trafficking and function of the wild type protein during viral infection. However, residues required for authentic pp28 trafficking with the exception of the acidic cluster in the N-terminal domain of pp28 remain undefined. Monitoring protein migration on SDS-PAGE, we found that pp28 is phosphorylated in the virus-infected cells and dephosphorylated in the viral particles. By generating substitution mutants of pp28, we showed that three serine residues (aa 41–43) and a tyrosine residue (aa 34) account for its phosphorylation. The mutant forms of pp28 were localized to the plasma membrane as well as the ERGIC in transfected cells. Likewise, these mutant proteins were localized to the plasma membrane as well as the AC in virus-infected cells. These results suggested that phosphorylation of pp28 contributes to its intracellular trafficking and efficient viral assembly and incorporation.

AbstractAbstract
Various Nostoc spp. and related cyanobacteria are able to survive extreme temperatures and are among the most successful colonists of high-elevation sites being exposed due to glacial retreat. It is unclear, however, if cyanobacteria can grow during the extreme freeze-thaw cycles that occur on a yearround basis at high-elevation, peri-glacial sites or if they only grow during the rare periods when freeze-thaw cycles do not occur. We conducted several experiments to determine if cyanobacteria that form biological soil crusts (BSCs) at highelevation sites (> 5,000 m.a.s.l.) in the Andes can grow during diurnal freeze-thaw cycles on a par with those that occur in the field. Here we show that a soil crust that had been frozen at -20°C for five years was able to increase from 40% to 100% soil coverage during a 45-day incubation during which the soil temperature cycled between -12°C and 26°C every day. In a second, experiment an undeveloped soil with no visible BSCs showed a statistically significant shift in the bacterial community from one containing few cyanobacterial sequences (8% of sequences) to one dominated (27%) by Nostoc, Microcoleus, and Leptolyngbya phylotypes during a 77-day incubation with daily freeze-thaw cycles. In addition, counts of spherical Nostoc-like colonies increased significantly on the soil surface during the experiment, especially in microcosms receiving phosphorus. Taken together these results show that freeze-thaw cycles alone do not limit the growth of BSCs in high-elevation soils, and provide new insight into how life is able to thrive in one of the most extreme terrestrial environments on Earth.
