Parvoviruses encode a small number of ancillary proteins that differ substantially between genera. Within the genus Protoparvovirus, minute virus of mice (MVM) encodes three isoforms of its ancillary protein NS2, while human bocavirus 1 (HBoV1), in the genus Bocaparvovirus, encodes an NP1 protein that is unrelated in primary sequence to MVM NS2. To search for functional overlap between NS2 and NP1, we generated murine A9 cell populations that inducibly express HBoV1 NP1. These were used to test whether NP1 expression could complement specific defects resulting from depletion of MVM NS2 isoforms. NP1 induction had little impact on cell viability or cell cycle progression in uninfected cells, and was unable to complement late defects in MVM virion production associated with low NS2 levels. However, NP1 did relocate to MVM replication centers, and supports both the normal expansion of these foci and overcomes the early paralysis of DNA replication in NS2-null infections.

The oncolytic autonomous parvovirus Minute Virus of Mice (MVM) establishes infection in the nuclear environment by usurping host DNA damage signaling proteins in the vicinity of cellular DNA break sites. MVM replication induces a global cellular DNA Damage Response (DDR) that is dependent on signaling by the ATM kinase and inactivates the cellular ATR-kinase pathway. However, the mechanism of how MVM generates cellular DNA breaks remains unknown.

Specific chromatin immunoprecipitation of salt-fractionated infected cell extracts has demonstrated that the CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF), a highly conserved, 11-zinc-finger DNA-binding protein with known roles in cellular and viral genome organization and gene expression, specifically binds the genome of Minute Virus of Mice (MVM). Mutations that diminish binding of CTCF to MVM affect processing of the P4-generated pre-mRNAs. These RNAs are spliced less efficiently to generate the R1 mRNA, and definition of the NS2-specific exon upstream of the small intron is reduced, leading to relatively less R2 and the generation of a novel exon-skipped product.

CRM1 (Exportin1/XPO1) exports hundreds of broadly functioning protein cargoes out of the cell nucleus by binding to their classical nuclear export signals (NESs). The 8- to 15-amino-acid-long NESs contain four to five hydrophobic residues and are highly diverse in both sequence and CRM1-bound structure. Here we examine the relationship between nuclear export activities of 24 different NES peptides in cells and their CRM1-NES affinities.

The P4 promoter of the autonomous parvovirus Minute Virus of Mice (MVM) drives the production of its non-structural proteins, NS1 and NS2. The NS2 isoforms are without enzymatic activity but interact with cellular proteins. While NS2 is crucial to the viral life cycle in cultured murine cells, NS2-null mutant virus productively infects transformed host cells of other species.
