Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) encodes Us3 protein kinase and a dUTPase (vdUTPase), which are both critical for neurovirulence in the central nerve system (CNS) of mice. We showed that Us3 phosphorylated vdUTPase to up-regulate its enzymatic activity. This phosphorylation was specifically required for neurovirulence in the CNS of mice, but not for pathogenic effects in mouse eyes and vaginas. Low endogenous cellular dUTPase activity in cell cultures and in vivo was linked to lower replication and virulence of a recombinant virus carrying a mutation that precluded phosphorylation of vdUTPase, and overexpression of cellular dUTPase restored HSV-1 neurovirulence in the CNS by the recombinant virus. Our results supported the hypothesis that CNS-specific neurovirulence of HSV-1 involved strict regulation of vdUTPase activity by Us3 phosphorylation, to compensate for the low cellular dUTPase activity in the CNS, to produce efficient viral replication.
