Abstract excerpt
The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) thymidine kinase (TK) gene promoter contains binding sites for the cellular transcription factors such as Spl, CTF, and TFIID, each of which affects basal level expression of the TK gene. The transcription of the TK gene was induced by viral immediate early proteins, ICP0 and ICP4 in an additive manner, but was repressed by ICP22 and ICP27. To gain further insights into the...
