The bovine herpesvirus 1 gene encoding infected cell protein 0 (bICP0) can inhibit interferon-dependent transcription in the absence of other viral genes

Abstract excerpt

The infected cell protein 0 (bICP0) encoded by Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) stimulates viral gene expression and productive infection. As bICP0 is expressed constitutively during productive infection, it is considered to be the major viral regulatory protein. Like other alphaherpesvirus ICP0 homologues, bICP0 contains a zinc RING finger near its N terminus that activates transcription and regulates subcellular...
