Resistance of Human Cytomegalovirus to Benzimidazole Ribonucleosides Maps to Two Open Reading Frames: UL89 and UL56
1 Jun 1998
Abstract excerpt
2,5,6-Trichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl benzimidazole (TCRB) is a potent and selective inhibitor of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication. TCRB acts via a novel mechanism involving inhibition of viral DNA processing and packaging. Resistance to the 2-bromo analog (BDCRB) has been mapped to the UL89 open reading frame (ORF), and this gene product was proposed as the viral target of the benzimidazole nucleosides....
