Alpha herpesviruses; molecular and cellular biology.9781904455097 Alpha herpesviruses Herpesviruses A family of viruses responsible for cold sores, chicken pox, and genital herpes. Mentioned in: Skin Resurfacing ; molecular and cellular biology. Ed. by Rozanne M. Sandri-Goldin. Caister Academic Press 2006 402 pages $280.00 Hardcover QR400 The 20 papers presented by Sandri-Goldin (microbiology and molecular genetics, U. of California at Irvine) summarize and highlight recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of viral infection for alpha herpesviruses, which have the ability to establish lifelong infection in the peripheral nervous system peripheral nervous system: see nervous system. of the natural host. Papers contain some review of their respective topic, but concentrate on latest developments. Among the topics covered are the modification of cellular RNA polymerase II RNA polymerase II (also called RNAP II and Pol II) is an enzyme found in eukaryotic cells. It catalyzes the transcription of DNA to synthesize precursors of mRNA and most snRNA and microRNA. during HSV-1 infection; the functions and activities of herpes simplex virus Herpes simplex virus A virus that can cause fever and blistering on the skin, mucous membranes, or genitalia. Mentioned in: Conjunctivitis herpes simplex virus protein ICP27, strategies for translational control in herpes simplex virus-infected cells, the development and use of microarrays for analyzing HSV gene expression, HSV glycoproteins and their roles in virus entry and egress, nucleocapsid nucleocapsid /nu·cleo·cap·sid/ (noo?kle-o-kap´sid) a unit of viral structure, consisting of a capsid with the enclosed nucleic acid. nu·cle·o·cap·sid n. assembly and envelopment of herpes simplex virus, mechanisms of subversion of type I interferon responses by alpha herpesviruses, and virus imaging in living animals.
