Selective abolishment of pyrimidine nucleoside kinase activity of herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase by mutation of alanine-167 to tyrosine.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) encodes a thymidine kinase (TK) that markedly differs from mammalian nucleoside kinases in terms of substrate specificity. It recognizes both pyrimidine 2'-deoxynucleosides and a variety of purine nucleoside analogs. Based on a computer modeling study and in...
