Abstract
When herpes simplex virus (HSV) infects human cells, it is able to enter two modes of infection: lytic and latent. A key activator of lytic infection is a virion protein called VP16, which, upon infection of a permissive cell, forms a transcriptional regulatory complex with two cellular proteins – the POU-domain transcription factor Oct-1 and the cell-proliferation factor HCF-1 – to activate transcription of the first set of expressed viral genes. This regulatory complex, called the VP16-induced complex, reveals mechanisms of combinatorial control of transcription. The activities of Oct-1 and HCF-1 – two important regulators of cellular gene expression and proliferation – illuminate strategies by which HSV might coexist with its host.
