Disease relevance of UL31

 

High impact information on UL31

  • The UL34 and UL31 proteins, as well as their association, were each required for PKC recruitment to the nuclear rim [4].
  • Herpes simplex virus 1-encoded protein kinase UL13 phosphorylates viral Us3 protein kinase and regulates nuclear localization of viral envelopment factors UL34 and UL31 [5].
  • (iii) The phenotype of DeltaUL13 resembles that of a recombinant virus lacking the Us3 gene (DeltaUs3) with respect to localization of the viral envelopment factors UL34 and UL31, whose localization has been shown to be regulated by Us3 [5].
  • In the work described here, mapping studies using glutathione S-transferase pull-down assays indicated that amino acids 137 to 181 of the UL34 protein are sufficient to mediate an interaction with the UL31 protein [1].
 

Biological context of UL31

  • The data suggest a model in which kinases that normally disassemble the nuclear lamina during apoptosis are recruited to the nuclear membrane through functions requiring UL31 and UL34 [4].
  • A protein complementation assay (PCA) using the TEM-1 beta-lactamase fragments fused to UL31 and UL34 protein homologues was used to study protein-protein interactions in cells [3].
  • Here we show that the CR1 of all tested UL31 proteins contains the UL34 binding site, and chimeric proteins carrying the subfamily-specific CR1 rescued the ability to cross-complement in the PCA [3].
 

Anatomical context of UL31

  • Hep2 cells infected with v3480 contained the UL34 protein in the cytoplasm, the nucleus, and the nuclear membrane, and this was noted to be similar to the appearance of cells infected with a UL31 null virus [1].
