Abstract excerpt
The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) immediate-early protein ICP27 is required posttranscriptionally for the expression of HSV-1 late genes during a productive infection. ICP27 also inhibits host cell pre-mRNA splicing, effectively shutting off host cell protein synthesis. Here we describe intragenic suppressors of LG4, a virus with a conditional lethal mutation in the gene encoding ICP27. At the restrictive...
