Herpes simplex virus inhibits host cell splicing, and regulatory protein ICP27 is required for this effect
1 Dec 1994
Abstract excerpt
While the majority of metazoan genes and those of the DNA viruses which infect them contain introns which require RNA splicing, herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) encodes relatively few spliced products. We previously showed that the HSV-1 immediate-early protein ICP27 decreased the levels of spliced target mRNAs in transfections and spliced cellular mRNAs during infection, suggesting that ICP27 may function in...
