Abstract excerpt
The herpes simplex virus (HSV) type I alkaline nuclease, UL12, has 5'-to-3' exonuclease activity and shares homology with nucleases from other members of the Herpesviridae family. We previously reported that a UL12-null virus exhibits a severe defect in viral growth. To determine whether the growth defect was a result of loss of nuclease activity or another function of UL12, we introduced an...
