Discovery and Characterization of an Aberrant Small Form of Glycoprotein I of Herpes Simplex Virus Type I in Cell Culture

ABSTRACT The 380-to-393-amino-acid glycoprotein I (gI) encoded by herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is a critical mediator for viral cell-to-cell spread and syncytium formation. Here we report a previously unrecognized aberrant form of gI in HSV-1-infected cells. Production of this molecule is independ...
