Abstract:
Cyclin-dependent protein kinase (CDK) plays an important role in the replication of herpes simplex virus (HSV) and other important human disease viruses. But which kinds of CDK are required in the replication of HSV is still not clear. In this study, we infected dominant negative CDK2 cell line with different multiplicity of infection (MOI) of HSV-1-KOS strain (abbreviated as HSV below), and the results showed that the yield of HSV depended on the MOI; the replication of HSV delayed about 3 h as compared with that of the control in the one-step growth curve replication experiments; the CDK2 activity was induced 6 h post HSV infection and reached the highest 9 h post infection; the HSV went into rapid productive replication after the CDK2 was induced. We propose herein that the CDK2 is required in the initiation of replication of HSV.
