Abstract excerpt
Genome replication of herpes simplex viruses (HSV) in cultured cells is thought to be started by the action of the virus-encoded origin-binding protein (OBP). In experiments using two HSV-1 mutants with temperature-sensitive lesions in the helicase domain of OBP, we demonstrated that this function is essential during the first 6 hours of the lytic cycle. Once DNA synthesis has started, this function is no longer...
