Effects of lamin A/C, lamin B1, and viral US3 kinase activity on viral infectivity, virion egress, and the targeting of herpes simplex virus U(L)34-encoded protein to the inner nuclear membrane.

Abstract excerpt

Previous results indicated that the U(L)34 protein (pU(L)34) of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is targeted to the nuclear membrane and is essential for nuclear egress of nucleocapsids. The normal localization of pU(L)34 and virions requires the U(S)3-encoded kinase that phosphorylates U(L)34 and lamin A/C. Moreover, pU(L)34 was shown to interact with lamin A in vitro. In the present study, glutathione...
