Mutational analysis of the herpes simplex virus type 1 DNA packaging protein UL33.
The UL33 protein of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is thought to be a component of the terminase complex that mediates the cleavage and packaging of viral DNA. In this study we describe the generation and characterization of a series of 15 UL33 mutants containing insertions of five amino acids located randomly throughout the 130-residue protein. Of these mutants, seven were unable to compl...
متن کاملIntercellular Trafficking of VP22, a Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Tegument Protein
The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) tegument protein, VP22 has been reported to have the property of intercellular transport. The previous studies have shown that following expression of a fusion protein containing VP22 it spreads to every cell in a monolayer and concentrates in the nucleus. In spite of these reports, some studies have shown that VP22 trafficking and its nucleus accumulatio...
متن کاملA mutational analysis of the DNA-binding domain of the herpes simplex virus type 1 UL9 protein.
The herpes simplex virus type 1 origin-binding protein is encoded by gene UL9. We previously described a plasmid, pB1, which encodes a fusion protein containing only the C-terminal 317 amino acids of the UL9 polypeptide and showed that this product retains sequence-specific DNA-binding ability. Two series of pB1 mutants have now been constructed and the polypeptides were tested for origin-bindi...
متن کاملEffects of mutations within the herpes simplex virus type 1 DNA encapsidation signal on packaging efficiency.
The cis-acting signals required for cleavage and encapsidation of the herpes simplex virus type 1 genome lie within the terminally redundant region or a sequence. The a sequence is flanked by short direct repeats (DR1) containing the site of cleavage, and quasi-unique regions, Uc and Ub, occupy positions adjacent to the genomic L and S termini, respectively, such that a novel fragment, Uc-DR1-U...
متن کاملExpression, Purification, and Antiserum Production of the Truncated UL31 Protein of Herpes Simplex Virus 1
Background: The UL31 protein of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) plays an important role in the HSV-1 replication, however, its pinpoint functions in the life cycle of the virus have yet to be adequately elucidated. Objectives: An antiserum specific for detecting HSV-1 UL31 was prepared as the foundation for future research on the role of UL31 in the course...
