Abstract:
The herpes simplex virus(HSV) Us3 gene encodes a ser/thr protein kinase(PK).As an accessory gene,it plays an important role in the regulation of the apoptosis of infected cells and virus release.Us3-induced alterations in the host cytomorphology are associated with enhanced intercellular virus spread,suggestive of a previously undescribed aspect of alphaherpesvirus spread.
