Abstract

A single-cytosine-deletion in the herpes simplex virus gene encoding thymidine kinase (TK) was previously found in an acyclovir-resistant clinical isolate. A laboratory strain engineered to carry this mutation did not generate sufficient TK activity for detection by plaque autoradiography, which detected 0.25% wild-type activity. However, a drug sensitivity assay suggested that extremely low levels of TK are generated by this virus. The virus was estimated to express 0.09% of wild-type TK activity via a ribosomal frameshift 24 nucleotides upstream of the mutation. Remarkably, this appeared to be sufficient active TK to support a low level of reactivation from latently infected mouse trigeminal ganglia.

摘要

先前在一株阿昔洛韦耐药的临床分离株中发现,单纯疱疹病毒编码胸苷激酶(TK)的基因存在单个胞嘧啶缺失。构建携带此突变的实验室菌株后,通过噬斑放射自显影检测发现其产生的TK活性不足以被检测到,仅能检测到0.25%的野生型活性。然而,药物敏感性试验表明,该病毒产生的TK水平极低。据估计,该病毒通过突变上游24个核苷酸处的核糖体移码表达出0.09%的野生型TK活性。值得注意的是,这似乎足以产生有活性的TK,以支持潜伏感染小鼠三叉神经节的低水平再激活。
