Herpes Simplex Virus DNA Synthesis (HSV DNA Synthesis)

Target
HSV DNA Synthesis
Molecular classification
Viral Process
01

Overview

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) DNA synthesis refers to the process by which HSV replicates its double-stranded DNA genome within infected host cells. This is a critical step in the viral life cycle, enabling the production of new virions and propagation of infection. The process involves a cascade of viral proteins, including UL9, ICP8, UL30, UL42, UL5, UL8, and UL52, and relies on a theta-type replication mechanism that transitions to a rolling-circle mode. The unique HSV DNA polymerase is a major target for antiviral drugs.
