Recombination during Early Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Infection Is Mediated by Cellular Proteins
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Homologous recombination was examined in cells infected with herpes simplex virus type I. Circular and linear DNA with directly repeated sequences was introduced as recombination substrates into cells. Recombination was measured either by origin-dependent amplification of recombination products or by recombination-dependent expression of luciferase from a disrupted gene. Homologous recombination in baby hamster kidney cells converted linear DNA to circular templates for DNA replication and luciferase expression in the complete absence of virus. The products of homologous recombination were efficiently amplified by the viral replication apparatus. The efficiency of recombination was dependent on the structure of the substrate as well as the cell type. Linear DNA with the direct repeats at internal positions failed to recombine in Balb/c 3T3 cells and induced p53-dependent apoptosis. In contrast, linear DNA with directly repeated sequences precisely at the ends recombined and replicated in 3T3 cells. Homologous recombination in baby hamster kidney cells did not depend on the position of the repeated sequences. We conclude that homologous recombination is independent of viral gene functions and that it is likely to be carried out by cellular proteins. We suggest that homologous recombination between directly repeated sequences in the linear herpes simplex virus type 1 chromosome may help to avoid p53-dependent apoptosis and to promote viral DNA replication.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
