ABSTRACT Transcriptional activity of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is influenced by post-translational modifications the C-terminal domain (CTD) largest Pol subunit, RPB1. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) usurps cellular transcriptional machinery during lytic infection to efficiently express viral mRNA and shut down host gene expression. The immediate-early protein ICP22 interferes with serine 2 phosphorylation (pS2) targeting CDK9 other CDKs, but full functional implications this are not...
