Identification of SLC35A1 as an essential host factor for the transduction of multi-serotype recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors.

We conducted a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen in suspension 293 F cells transduced with rAAV5. The highly selected genes revealed after two rounds of screening included the previously reported , , and , along with a cluster of genes involved in glycan biogenesis, Golgi apparatus localization, and endoplasmic reticulum penetration. In this report, we focused on solute carrier family 35 member A1 (), a Golgi apparatus-localized cytidine 5'-monophosphate-sialic acid (CMP-SIA) transporter.

The Expression and Function of the Small Nonstructural Proteins of Adeno-Associated Viruses (AAVs).

Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are small, non-enveloped viruses that package a single-stranded (ss)DNA genome of 4.7 kilobases (kb) within their T = 1 icosahedral capsid. AAVs are replication-deficient viruses that require a helper virus to complete their life cycle.

N6-methyladenosine modification of a parvovirus-encoded small noncoding RNA facilitates viral DNA replication through recruiting Y-family DNA polymerases.

Human bocavirus 1 (HBoV1) is a human parvovirus that causes lower respiratory tract infections in young children. It contains a single-stranded (ss) DNA genome of ~5.5 kb that encodes a small noncoding RNA of 140 nucleotides known as bocavirus-encoded small RNA (BocaSR), in addition to viral proteins.

Identification of host essential factors for recombinant AAV transduction of the polarized human airway epithelium.

The essential steps of successful gene delivery by recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAVs) include vector internalization, intracellular trafficking, nuclear import, uncoating, double-stranded (ds)DNA conversion, and transgene expression. rAAV2.5T has a chimeric capsid of AAV2 VP1u and AAV5 VP2 and VP3 with the mutation A581T.
