ROLES OF HOST FACTORS IN VIRAL REPLICATION COUPLED PROCESSES
Herpes simplex virus is a prevalent pathogen that infects the majority of the human population. Viral DNA replication is an essential step in the virus life cycle and can be targeted by antiviral treatments. Herpesviral DNA replication is coupled to other viral processes including transcription, DNA recombination, and DNA repair. However, there are critical gaps in our current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms by which these processes are coordinated and regulated on the viral DNA. The recent development of proteomic approaches to study protein association with replication forks has enabled an in depth look at this fundamental process within cells. In addition to the viral replication…
