A herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) Ori(S) analogue in which the A+T sequence linking the box I and II elements was replaced by two single-stranded oligo(dT)s is unwound by the UL9 protein-ICP8 complex. Unwinding of wild-type Ori(S) by the UL9 protein-ICP8 complex was also observed under conditions which destabilize the A+T sequence. These experiments support a model for the unwinding of Ori(S) in which destabilization of the A+T sequence can generate a single-stranded DNA binding site for ICP8, which then associates with the UL9 protein bound to boxes I and II to promote the bidirectional unwinding of Ori(S).
一种1型单纯疱疹病毒(HSV-1)的Ori(S)类似物,其中连接框I和框II元件的A+T序列被两条单链寡聚(dT)取代,该类似物被UL9蛋白-ICP8复合物解开。在使A+T序列不稳定的条件下,也观察到UL9蛋白-ICP8复合物对野生型Ori(S)的解旋。这些实验支持了一种Ori(S)解旋模型,其中A+T序列的不稳定可产生一个ICP8的单链DNA结合位点,然后该位点与结合在框I和框II上的UL9蛋白结合,以促进Ori(S)的双向解旋。
