Abstract excerpt
The herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) multifunctional regulatory protein ICP27 shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm in its role as a viral mRNA export factor. Arginine methylation on glycine- and arginine-rich motifs has been shown to regulate protein export. ICP27 contains an RGG box and has been shown to be methylated during viral infection. We found by mass spectrometric analysis that three arginine...
