Abstract excerpt
Two mutant strains (vi12 and vi13) of herpes simplex virus that contain insertion mutations in the sequences that encode the DNA-binding domain of viral regulatory protein ICP4 were generated. Both mutations disrupted specific DNA binding and resulted in transcriptionally inactive molecules; however, the ability of the mutant proteins to form dimers was retained. The mutant proteins formed heterodimers with an...
