The Flexible Loop of the Human Cytomegalovirus DNA Polymerase Processivity Factor ppUL44 Is Required for Efficient DNA Binding and Replication in Cells
2 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
Phosphoprotein ppUL44 of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) DNA polymerase plays an essential role in viral replication, conferring processivity to the DNA polymerase catalytic subunit pUL54 by tethering it to the DNA. Here, for the first time, we examine in living cells the function of the highly flexible loop of ppUL44 (UL44-FL; residues 162 to 174 [PHTRVKRNVKKAP(174)]), which has been proposed to be directly...
