Abstract excerpt
The major DNA-binding protein, or infected-cell protein 8 (ICP8), of herpes simplex virus is required for viral DNA synthesis and normal regulation of viral gene expression. Previous genetic analysis has indicated that the carboxyl-terminal 28 residues are the only portion of ICP8 capable of acting independently as a nuclear localization signal. In this study, we constructed a mutant virus (n11SV) in which the...
