Abstract excerpt
alpha trans-inducing factor (alpha TIF, VP16, Vmw65) is an essential structural protein of herpes simplex virus, being required for virion assembly. The protein also forms complexes with host proteins and a response element and transactivates the alpha genes which carry this element. The protein contains an acidic carboxyl terminus required for transactivation and a much larger amino-terminal domain required for...
