Complex Expression of the UL136 Gene of Human Cytomegalovirus Results in Multiple Protein Isoforms with Unique Roles in Replication
9 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a complex DNA virus with a 230-kb genome encoding 170 and up to 750 proteins. The upper limit of this coding capacity suggests the evolution of complex mechanisms to substantially increase the coding potential from the 230-kb genome. Our work examines the complexity of one gene, UL136, encoded within the ULb' region of the genome that is lost during serial passage of...
