Vero cells were mock infected or infected with HSV-1 (strain SC16) at 10PFU/cell and harvested at 18h post infection. Cells were lysed in 50mM Tris pH 7.6, 150 mM NaCl, 1% sodium deoxycholate, 1% Triton X-100 supplemented with protease inhibitors. Samples were boiled in SDS-PAGE sample buffer, separated on a 10% polyacrylamide gel and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane by western blot. Membranes were blocked in PBS, 0.05% Tween-20, 5% dried milk powder and incubated with ab110226 at various dilutions followed by anti-mouse-IRdye 800CW and scanned using an infrared imager. Each lane corresponds to approximately 3x10^5 cells.

Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

HSV1 + HSV2 VP16 also known as α-TIF (alpha trans-inducing factor) is an important transcriptional activator mechanically facilitating the initiation of the herpes simplex virus (HSV) transcription process. This protein typically measures around 491 amino acids in length and has a molecular mass of approximately 65 kilodaltons. VP16 is expressed within infected host cells where it interacts specifically with cellular factors to trigger transcription from the herpes simplex virus immediate-early genes a critical step in the viral replication cycle.
Biological function summary

HSV1 + HSV2 VP16 is essential in the lifecycle of HSV1 and HSV2 by acting as a regulator of gene expression. It functions as part of a larger multiprotein complex incorporating several host cellular components including HCF-1 and Oct-1 to modulate the transcription of viral genes. This regulation allows the virus to effectively control the expression of its genome directly impacting viral pathogenesis and replication.

Pathways

Proteins related to HSV1 + HSV2 VP16 are implicated in transcriptional pathways particularly those activating immediate-early genes in HSV. These pathways include the interactions with cellular proteins HCF-1 and Oct-1 alongside the cellular transcription apparatus. This system aligns with the broader regulatory framework of viral gene expression intersecting with essential pathways in the host to enable efficient viral replication and spread.

HSV1 + HSV2 VP16 contributes significantly to conditions related to herpes simplex virus infections including oral and genital herpes. This protein is a critical player in the reactivation of latent virus impacting the recurrence of disease in infected individuals. The interactions with proteins like HCF-1 and Oct-1 not only facilitate viral replication but also may influence host cellular pathways related to cell cycle and immune response potentially affecting the severity and progression of the disease.
