Discovery and characterization of the mobilization of linker and core histones during herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection
DownloadFall 2010
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) genomes associate with histones in unstable nucleosomes during lytic infections. Nucleosome core particles are 146 base pairs of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer of two molecules of each H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Histone H1 binds to nucleosomes at DNA entry...

The Discovery and Characterization of Rigid Amphipathic Fusion Inhibitors (RAFIS), a Novel Class of Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Compounds
DownloadSpring 2012
Antiviral drugs targeting viral proteins or their interactions with cellular proteins lead to rapid selection for resistance. Moreover, the number of viral targets is limited. Novel antiviral targets are needed. The unique characteristics of fusion between virion envelopes and cell membranes may...

Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is a nuclear-replicating, double-stranded (ds) DNA virus. HSV-1 genes are expressed in a coordinate manner. The tegument protein VP16 first activates expression of the five immediate-early (IE) genes. Two IE proteins, ICP4 and ICP0, then activate early (E) and...
