Abstract excerpt
The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) protease (Pra) and related proteins are involved in the assembly of viral capsids and virion maturation. Pra is a serine protease, and the active-site residue has been mapped to amino acid (aa) 129 (Ser). This 635-aa protease, encoded by the UL26 gene, is autoproteolytically processed at two sites, the release (R) site between amino acid residues 247 and 248 and the...
