Abstract

The ICP34.5 gene from HSV-2 strain 333 was cloned and, when expressed in Vero cells, enhanced the efficiency and extent of glycoprotein processing of glycoprotein C (gC1), a representative viral glycoprotein, during infection with HSV-1 SP7. The ICP34.5 from HSV-1 SP7 limits the extent and efficiency of viral glycoprotein processing. The ability of the HSV-2 ICP34.5 protein to enhance the efficiency and extent of HSV-1 SP7 glycoprotein processing indicates that modulation of viral glycoprotein processing is also a property of the HSV-2 ICP34.5 protein.
