Disease relevance of UL36

  • Tegument proteins homologous to the essential herpes simplex virus type 1 UL36 gene product (p)UL36 are conserved throughout the Herpesviridae and constitute the largest herpesvirus-encoded proteins [1].
  • The largest tegument protein of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), UL36, contains a novel deubiquitinating activity embedded in it [2].
  • The EHV-4 insert of the remaining recombinant encodes a portion of the previously unidentified EHV-4 homologue of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) UL36, a tegument protein [3].
  • We have discovered a ubiquitin (Ub)-specific cysteine protease encoded within the N-terminal approximately 500 residues of the UL36 gene product, the largest (3164 aa) tegument protein of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) [4].
  • The maturation and egress of the UL36 mutant particles are abrogated, possibly due to a late function of this complex polypeptide, i.e., to target capsids to the correct maturation pathway [5].
 

High impact information on UL36

 

Anatomical context of UL36

  • A mutant virus, designated KDeltaUL36, that encodes a null mutation in the UL36 gene was isolated and propagated in these cell lines [5].
