Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus blocks cell-cycle progression in the G(1) compartment upon infection of primary human fibroblasts. The virus-coded UL69 protein can institute a G(1) block when expressed in cells in the absence of virus infection. We have constructed a cytomegalovirus mutant, TNsubUL69, that lacks the UL69 coding region. This virus grows slowly in fibroblasts, but produces a wild-type yield after an extended...
