Abstract excerpt
The herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) UL15 gene encodes one of the six viral gene products required for viral DNA cleavage and packaging. UL15 is a spliced gene and encodes two separately translated proteins, UL15 and UL15.5. Sequence analysis reveals that UL15 shares homology with gp 17, the large catalytic subunit of the bacteriophage T4 terminase, a protein which cleaves the polymeric T4 DNA into monomers. Both...
