Disease relevance of UL50

 

High impact information on UL50

  • Our results thus demonstrate that UL50 of PrV encodes a protein of 33 kDa with dUTPase activity which copurifies with nuclei of infected cells and is dispensable for replication in cultured epithelial cells [2].
  • PrV UL50- replicated with an only slightly reduced efficiency in epithelial cells in culture compared with that of its parental wild-type virus strain [2].
  • The interruption of the UL50 gene led to the disappearance of the 33-kDa protein, whereas restoration of UL50 gene expression restored detection of the 33-kDa protein [2].
  • Another herpesvirus encoded enzyme that has received little attention as a potential target for the development of specific anti-herpesvirus agents is deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase) [3].
