Abstract excerpt
A mutant allele (X25) of an essential regulatory protein, ICP4, encoded by herpes simplex virus (HSV) has been shown to have a transdominant, negative effect on the activity of the wild-type protein, resulting in the inhibition of virus growth in vitro. The X25 protein appears to exert its transdominant effect by sequestering functional ICP4 monomers into nonfunctional, heterodimeric complexes (A. Shepard, P....
