ABSTRACT The immediate-early protein, BICP0, of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) transactivates a variety of viral and cellular genes. In a yeast two-hybrid cDNA library screening, we found that lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthase, which catalyzes the production of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), is a cellular target of BICP0. We observed that, during wild-type BHV-1 infection, PGD2 levels were increased intracellularly and decreased in the medium. These effects were absent upon infection with recombinant BHV-1 expressing β-galactosidase instead of BICP0 (A2G2). Transient-expression assays showed that BICP0 alone caused a significant increase in PGD2 levels in the cell. PGD2 repressed BHV-1 replication in cultured cells. Antiviral activities of prostaglandins have been documented long ago, but their mode of action remains to be clarified. Here we provide evidence that PGD2 impairs the transactivation ability of BICP0 that is necessary for efficient virus replication.

ABSTRACT Recombination is thought to be an important source of genetic variation in herpesviruses. Several studies, performed in vitro or in vivo, detected recombinant viruses after the coinoculation of two distinguishable strains of the same herpesvirus species. However, none of these studies investigated the evolution of the relative proportions of parental versus recombinant progeny populations after coinoculation of the natural host, both during the excretion and the reexcretion period. In the present study, we address this by studying the infection of cattle with bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1). The recombination of two BoHV-1 mutants lacking either glycoprotein C (gC−/gE+) or E (gC+/gE−) was investigated after inoculation of cattle by the natural route of infection. The results demonstrated that (i) recombination is a frequent event in vivo since recombinants (gC+/gE+ and gC−/gE−) were detected in all coinoculated calves, (ii) relative proportions of progeny populations evolved during the excretion period toward a situation where two populations (gC+/gE+ and gC−/gE+) predominated without fully outcompeting the presence of the two other detected populations (gC+/gE− and gC−/gE−), and (iii) after reactivation from latency, no gC+/gE− and gC−/gE− progeny viruses were detected, although gC+/gE− mutants, when inoculated alone, were detected after reactivation treatment. In view of these data, the importance of gE in the biology of BoHV-1 infection and the role of recombination in herpesvirus evolution are discussed.
