Abstract excerpt
Temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of vaccinia virus defective in the B1 kinase demonstrate a conditionally lethal defect in DNA synthesis. B1 is the prototypic member of a new family of protein kinases (vaccinia virus-related kinases, or VRK) that possess distinctive B1-like sequence features within their catalytic motifs (R. J. Nichols and P. Traktman, J. Biol. Chem., in press). Given the striking sequence...
