The Disruption of a Nuclear Export Signal in the C-Terminus of the Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Determinant of Pathogenicity UL24 Protein Leads to a Syncytial Plaque Phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

UL24 of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) has been shown to be a determinant of pathogenesis in mouse models of infection. The N-terminus of UL24 localizes to the nucleus and drives the redistribution of nucleolin and B23. In contrast, when expressed alone, the C-terminal domain of UL24 accumulates in the Golgi apparatus; its importance during infection is unknown. We generated a series of mammalian expression...
