Abstract excerpt
VP22, a tegument protein of bovine herpesvirus 1, accumulates in the nucleus of infected and transiently transfected cells. Previous studies indicated a possible regulatory function of VP22 within nuclei, but how VP22 enters nuclei is unknown. Despite the abundance of basic residues within this protein, no classic nuclear localization signal (NLS) motif has been identified. To identify the signal directing...
