Deskripsi

Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) infection disrupts transcription termination (DoTT) of host genes, but underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, Wang et al. show that the HSV-1 immediate early protein ICP27 induces DoTT through interaction with the mRNA 3’ processing factor CPSF and disruption of the processing complex.
