Abstract excerpt
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) infected cell protein 0 (bICP0) stimulates productive infection, in part by activating viral gene expression. The C(3)HC(4) zinc RING finger of bICP0 is crucial for activating viral transcription and productive infection. In this study, we used a bacterial artificial chromosome containing a wild-type (wt) virulent BHV-1 strain to generate a single amino acid mutation in the C(3)HC(4)...
