Abstract excerpt
Earlier studies have shown that the d120 mutant of herpes simplex virus 1, which lacks both copies of the alpha4 gene, induces caspase-3-dependent apoptosis in HEp-2 cells. Apoptosis was also induced by the alpha4 rescuant but was blocked by the complementation of rescuant with a DNA fragment encoding the U(S)3 protein kinase (R. Leopardi and B. Roizman, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 93:9583-9587, 1996, and R....
