Mutation of Gln125 to Asn selectively abolishes the thymidylate kinase activity of herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase.
The broad substrate specificity of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) thymidine kinase (TK) has provided the basis for selective antiherpetic therapy and, more recently, suicide gene therapy for the treatment of cancer. We have now constructed an HSV-1 TK mutant enzyme, in which an asparagine (N) r...
