Abstract excerpt
The virion host shutoff (vhs) function of herpes simplex virus induces degradation of host mRNAs at early times and rapid turnover of viral mRNAs throughout infection. Previous studies have shown that disruption of the UL41 gene abrogates vhs activity, but have not determined whether the UL41 polypeptide is the direct inducer of mRNA degradation or whether it is the only virion component required for this...
