Abstract excerpt
Three non-sense mutants of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) thymidine kinase (TK) gene, VZTK325, VZTK278 and VZTK224, were isolated. The mutants had a single nucleotide substitution at codons 326, 279 and 225, which changed the codon of TGG (tryptophan) to the stop codon TGA. The wild type (WT) and mutant TKs were expressed in E. coli cells and their characteristics were evaluated. VZTK224 lost TK activity, but...
