The C-terminal 79 amino acids of the herpes simplex virus regulatory protein, Vmw65, efficiently activate transcription in yeast and mammalian cells in chimeric DNA-binding proteins.
Activation of herpes simplex virus immediate early gene expression normally requires the formation of a ternary complex between a virus trans-activator, Vmw65, a cellular octamer-binding protein, TRF and the cis-acting target sequence, the TAATGARAT motif. We report that the C-terminal 79 amino acid...
