Abstract excerpt
A preeminent phenotype of the infected cell protein 0 (ICP0) of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is that it acts as a promiscuous transactivator. In most cell lines exposed to DeltaICP0 mutant virus at low ratios of virus per cell infection, alpha genes are expressed but the transition to beta and gamma gene expression does not ensue, but can be enhanced by inhibitors of histone deacetylases (HDACs). Earlier...
