Borna Disease Virus: Mögliche Ursache neurologischer und psychiatrischer Störungen des Menschen

Die Borna'sche Krankheit ist schon lange bei Tieren, v. a. bei Pferden und Schafen, als eine sporadisch auftretende, progressiv verlaufende Encephalomyelitis bekannt und galt ausschließlich als tierpathogen. In Studien konnten Wissenschaftler BD-virusspezifische Antikörper auch in Liquores von Menschen mit psychiatrisch relevantem Krankheitsbild nachweisen, die die Erkenntnis brachten, daß der Mensch mit dem BD-Virus infizierbar ist.

The open reading frame encoding hld mRNA (hemolysin δ) comprises the hairpins 3 to 5. b The 5 region of RNAIII binds to a 5 segment of hla mRNA, and sequesters the anti-Shine and Dalgarno sequence, activating hla translation (Morfeldt et al. 1995). c The 3 domain of RNAIII binds to the ribosome binding site of spa mRNA, inhibits translation, and induces rapid degradation via the double-stranded endoribonuclease III (Huntzinger et al. 2005). The initial contacts probably involved a loop– loop interaction (the sequences are shown in a and c) target specific mRNAs, require Hfq protein (Storz et al.

Moreover, the regulatory protein Hfq is required for virulence-factor expression and the action of the four Qrr RNAs (Lenz et al. 2004). Computer analysis revealed that five homologous Qrr RNAs are also present in V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus, and V. harveyi (Lenz et al. 2004). Conservation of genes across species is in general a good indication of similar functions (Michel et al. 2000), suggesting that these sRNAs may also be involved in analogous quorum-sensing circuits. Indeed in V. harveyi, Qrr RNAs, and Hfq were shown to control in a coordinated way the density-dependant light production by inducing the rapid degradation of luxR mRNA at low cell density (Lenz et al.
