Polymerase and Exonuclease Activities in Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 DNA Polymerase Are Not Highly Coordinated
The herpes polymerase-processivity factor complex consists of the catalytic UL30 subunit containing both polymerase and proofreading exonuclease activities and the UL42 subunit that acts as a processivity factor. Curiously, the highly active exonuclease has minimal impact on the accumulation of mismatches generated by the polymerase activity. We utilized a series of oligonucleotides of defined ...
متن کاملAssociation between the herpes simplex virus-1 DNA polymerase and uracil DNA glycosylase.
Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) is a large dsDNA virus that encodes its own DNA replication machinery and other enzymes involved in DNA transactions. We recently reported that the HSV-1 DNA polymerase catalytic subunit (UL30) exhibits apurinic/apyrimidinic and 5'-deoxyribose phosphate lyase activities. Moreover, UL30, in conjunction with the viral uracil DNA glycosylase (UL2), cellular apurinic/...
متن کاملDetection of Herpes Simplex Virus DNA in Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome
Background: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is one of the most common identifiable causes of open angle glaucoma. It has unknown etiology and pathogenesis. Infection, possibly viral, is one of the proposed pathogenic mechanisms in this condition. In the present study the presence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in specimens of anterior lens capsule of patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome has been ...
متن کاملProcessing of lagging-strand intermediates in vitro by herpes simplex virus type 1 DNA polymerase.
The processing of lagging-strand intermediates has not been demonstrated in vitro for herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Human flap endonuclease-1 (Fen-1) was examined for its ability to produce ligatable products with model lagging-strand intermediates in the presence of the wild-type or exonuclease-deficient (exo(-)) HSV-1 DNA polymerase (pol). Primer/templates were composed of a minicircle...
متن کاملActivity of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 DNA Polymerase Modulates Its Strand Displacement Activity
Using a minicircle DNA primer-template, the wild-type catalytic subunit of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) DNA polymerase (pol) was shown to lack significant strand displacement activity with or without its processivity factor, UL42. However, an exonuclease-deficient (exo ) pol (D368A) was capable of slow strand displacement. Although UL42 increased the rate (2/s) and processivity of strand...
