Real-time PCR analysis. the virion experienced an enhancing effect on the nuclear build up of VP16-GFP. The lack of UL14 did not significantly alter disease internalization but affected incoming capsid transport to the nuclear pore. These observations suggested that UL14 (i) enhanced VP16 nuclear localization in the immediately early phase, therefore indirectly regulating the manifestation of immediate-early genes, and (ii) was associated with efficient nuclear focusing on of capsids. The tegument protein UL14 could be part of the machinery that regulates HSV-1 replication. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a large-DNA, enveloped disease with icosahedral symmetry. The herpes simplex virion offers four parts: an electron-dense core containing…
