Purification and characterization of the protein kinase encoded by the UL13 gene of herpes simplex virus type 2.
The proteins encoded by the UL13 genes of herpes simplex virus types 1 (HSV-1) and 2 (HSV-2) have been predicted to be protein kinases. To identify the UL13 gene product, we have raised a rabbit polyclonal antiserum against a His.Tag-HSV-1 UL13 fusion protein. The antibody specifically reacted with the 60-kDa UL13 fusion protein expressed in Escherichia coli and also recognized 56- to 57-kDa la...
متن کاملHerpes simplex virus type 2: Seroprevalence in pregnant women
Introduction: Herpes Simplex Virus type 2 (HSV-2) is a highly prevalent sexually transmitted infection (STI) The prevalence of HSV-2 infection is increasing in many populations and geographic areas . Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is the cause of most genital herpes and is almost always sexually transmitted. Most HSV-2 infections are consequently expected to occur after the onset of sexua...
متن کاملProcessing of the herpes simplex virus regulatory protein a22 mediated by the UL13 protein kinase determines the accumulation
We reported previously that the posttranslational processing associated with phosphorylation of the herpes simplex virus 1 infected-cell protein 22 (ICP22), a regulatory protein, is encoded by UL13, a gene encoding a structural protein of the virion. We now report the following. (i) In cells infected with a mutant lacking UL13 (AUL13), restricted infected cells accumulate reduced levels of the ...
متن کاملPrevalence of Herpes Simplex Virus type-1, 2 and Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) in Eye Infection
Abstract Background and Aims: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a common cause of corneal disease and is the leading infectious cause of corneal blindness among developed nations. This study is aimed to provide an estimation of the incidence of Herpes Simplex Virustype-1, 2(HSV1, 2) and Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) in tears and swab from eye infection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in eye ...
متن کاملThe Role of Herpes Simplex Virus-1 Thymidine Kinase Alanine 168 in Substrate Specificity
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV) thymidine kinase (TK) has been widely used in suicide gene therapy for the treatment of cancer due to its broad substrate specificity and the inability of the endogenous human TK to phosphorylate guanosine analogs such as ganciclovir (GCV). The basis of suicide gene therapy is the introduction of a gene that encodes a prodrug-activating enzyme into tumor cells....
