Dysregulated metabolism of the late herpes simplex virus 1 transcriptome through the vhs-VP22 axis uncouples virus cytopathic effect and virus production
21 Jun 2023
Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) expresses its genes in a classical cascade culminating in the production of large amounts of structural proteins to facilitate virus assembly. HSV1 lacking the virus protein VP22 (Δ22) exhibits late translational shutoff, a phenotype that has been attributed to the unrestrained activity of the virion host shutoff (vhs) protein, a virus-encoded endoribonuclease which induces mRNA...
