Abstract excerpt
A serine-threonine protein kinase (PK), Us3, encoded by herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), shares substrate specificity with host cellular PKs, protein kinase A (PKA), and AKT. Many Us3 substrates have been identified, and it is thought that during HSV-1 infection, Us3 fine-tunes the phosphorylation levels of individual substrates within their repertoire. However, the significance of this regulatory fine-tuning by...
