The herpes simplex virus Us11 gene product inhibits activation of the cellular PKR kinase and associates with a limited number of unrelated viral and cellular RNA molecules via a carboxyl-terminal 68-amino-acid segment rich in arginine and proline. To characterize the determinants underlying the
Upon activation by double-stranded RNA in virus-infected cells, the cellular PKR kinase phosphorylates the translation initiation factor eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2) and thereby inhibits protein synthesis. The gamma 34.5 and Us11 gene products encoded by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)
Previous results showed that amino acids 449 to 457 of pU(L)26, a component of the scaffold of herpes simplex virus 1 capsids, were critical for interaction with the portal protein encoded by U(L)6 and for incorporation of the portal into capsids. To identify residues in this scaffold domain
The ICP34.5 protein facilitates herpes simplex virus replication by binding and activating protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) by means of a very conserved C-terminal GADD34-like region. Natural variants of the ICP34.5 differing in the number of arginines in an Arg-rich cluster at the N terminus and the
Induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) following corneal infection with herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) generates nitric oxide (NO), an important player in the defense against viral infection. Changes in arginine metabolism during infection are not limited to effects of iNOS but can
Earlier studies have shown that the thymidine kinase-negative baby hamster kidney (BHKTK-) cell lines expressing constitutively the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein D (gD), designated BJ, restrict infection by HSV-1 at the level of virus entry. U10, a HSV-1 mutant not restricted by the BJ
The isolation and description of acyclovir-resistant (ACVR) herpes simplex-2 viruses from patients with AIDS has recently been reported. These ACVR viruses were all markedly decreased in their thymidine kinase (TK) activity, and 6 of 10 of these TK viruses were able to establish latency. In
The adaptor protein CIN85 is widely distributed in different tissues and has three Src homology 3 (SH3) domains, a proline-rich region (PRR), and a coiled-coil domain. During studies on the function of CIN85, it was reported to form a complex with herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infected cell protein
Terminases comprise essential components of molecular motors required to package viral DNA into capsids in a variety of DNA virus systems. Previous studies indicated that the herpes simplex virus type 1 U(L)15 protein (pU(L)15) interacts with the pU(L)28 moiety of a pU(L)28-pU(L)33 complex to form
Development of strategies to prevent herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection requires knowledge of cellular pathways harnessed by the virus for invasion. This study demonstrates that HSV induces rapid phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in several human target cells and that phosphorylation
A series of truncated Herpes simplex virion peptides studied by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry under high and low energy collision induced dissociation conditions showed preferential fragmentation of the aspartyl-proline amide bond, compared to other peptide bonds. Electrospray ionization
Protein synthesis was assessed in virus-infected and -uninfected cultures of bovine aorta endothelial cells by following the incorporation of [14C]proline into nondialyzable protein and by use of an ELISA assay. Monolayers were infected at confluency by incubating with herpes simplex virus type I at
We determined the essentiality of all amino acid replacements within an 11-codon sequence in the putative nucleoside-binding site of thymidine kinase encoded by herpes simplex virus type 1. This involved partial randomization of 11 codons in the gene to create a degenerate library, followed by
The large subunit of herpes simplex virus type 2 ribonucleotide reductase (ICP10) is a multifunctional protein. It consists of a ribonucleotide reductase and a serine/threonine protein kinase (PK) domain, which has three proline-rich motifs consistent with SH3-binding sites at positions 140, 149,
The fine structure of the antigenic determinants of herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 glycoprotein D (gD) was analyzed to determine whether structural differences underlie the differential immunogenicity of these glycoproteins. A region common to herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 gD (amino acid
