Phosphorylation of Herpes Simplex Virus 1 dUTPase Upregulated Viral dUTPase Activity To Compensate for Low Cellular dUTPase Activity for Efficient Viral Replication
24 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
We recently reported that herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) protein kinase Us3 phosphorylated viral dUTPase (vdUTPase) at serine 187 (Ser-187) to upregulate its enzymatic activity, which promoted HSV-1 replication in human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells but not in human carcinoma HEp-2 cells. In the present study, we showed that endogenous cellular dUTPase activity in SK-N-SH cells was significantly lower than that in...
