Organization and Control of the mRNA of the HSV TK Gene

  • Chapter
Viral Messenger RNA

Part of the book series: Developments in Molecular Virology ((DMVI,volume 7))

Summary

The sequences necessary for the activation of HSV TK gene transcription by HSV immediate-early proteins are largely coincident with the upstream region of the TK promoter. The implications of this arrangement are discussed.
