Phosphorylation of Varicella-Zoster Virus IE63 Protein by Casein Kinases Influences Its Cellular Localization and Gene Regulation Activity
1 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
During the early phase of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection, Immediate Early protein 63 (IE63) is expressed rapidly and abundantly in the nucleus, while during latency, this protein is confined mostly to the cytoplasm. Because phosphorylation is known to regulate many cellular events, we investigated the importance of this modification on the cellular localization of IE63 and on its regulatory properties. We...
