| herpes simplex virus | <virology> A virus in the family Herpesviridae. Type 1 HSVcauses blisters on the lips, nostrils, and possibly on the lining of the eyelids. Type 2 HSV causes blisters and lesions on and aroundgenitalia. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| herpes simplex virus 1 helicase-primase | <enzyme> Complex of three herpes-encoded gene products (ul52, ul5, and ul8) in addition to helicase activity, contains a tightly associated complex that may prime lagging strand synthesis as it unwinds DNA at the viral replication fork Registry number: EC 3.1.- Synonym: hsv-1 helicase-primase, ul5 protein, hsv helicase-primase complex, ul52 protein, ul8 protein (26 Jun 1999) |
| herpes simplex virus protein vmw65 | Trans-acting protein that combines with host factors to induce immediate early gene transcription in herpes simplex virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes simplex virus type 1 UL13 protein kinase | <enzyme> Phosphorylates icp22 and involved in the accumulation of alpha and gamma mrnas and proteins in the infected cells; aa sequence has been determined Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: ul13 protein kinase, hsv-1, hsv-1 ul13 protein, hsv-1 ul13 pk, u(l)13 protein kinase, protein kinase ul13 (26 Jun 1999) |
| DNA-directed DNA polymerase | <enzyme> DNA-dependent DNA polymerases found in bacteria, animal and plant cells. During the replication process, these enzymes catalyze the addition of deoxyribonucleotide residues to the end of a DNA strand in the presence of DNA as template-primer. They also possess exonuclease activity and therefore function in DNA repair. Chemical name: Deoxynucleoside-triphosphate:DNA deoxynucleotidyltransferase (DNA-directed) Registry number: EC 2.7.7.7 (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes simplex | <virology> The Herpes simplex virus is responsible for several different infections in humans: gingivostomatitis (in children), pharyngitis, oral and lip lesions (recurrent Herpes simplex type 1), proctitis, (type 2) and genital herpes (type 2). (27 Sep 1997) |
| herpes simplex encephalitis | The most common acute encephalitis, caused by HSV-1; affects persons of any age; preferentially involves the inferomedial portions of the temporal lobe and the orbital portions of the frontal lobes; pathologically, severe haemorrhagic necrosis is present along with, in the acute stages, intranuclear eosinophilic inclusion bodies in the neurons and glial cells. Synonym: acute inclusion body encephalitis, herpes encephalitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| herpes simplex keratitis | <ophthalmology, pathology> A serious viral infection of the cornea that can result in a nonpenetrating erosion (corneal ulcer) of the cornea. The causative agent is Herpes zoster. Recurrences may be triggered by stress, exposure to sunlight, use of immunosuppressive medications or another illness. Treatment includes antiviral eyedrops. (27 Sep 1997) |
| herpes simplex type 1 | A virus that causes cold sores and fever blisters. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes simplex type 2 | Different from herpes simplex type 1, herpes simplex 2 causes genital herpes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bacteriophage T7 induced DNA polymerase | <enzyme> Complex of two proteins, phage gene 5 protein and E coli thioredoxin Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- Synonym: t7 phage DNA polymerase, sequenase, t7 DNA polymerase, thermo sequenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| RNA-directed DNA polymerase | <enzyme> An enzyme that synthesises DNA on an RNA template. It is encoded by the pol gene of retroviruses and by certain retrovirus-like elements. Chemical name: Deoxynucleotide-triphosphate:DNA deoxynucleotidyltransferase (RNA-directed) Registry number: EC 2.7.7.49 (12 Dec 1998) |
| Pfu DNA polymerase | <enzyme> From pyrococcus furiosus; shows sequence homology with alpha-like DNA polymerases; amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- Synonym: pfu polymerase (26 Jun 1999) |
| MIP1 DNA polymerase | <enzyme> From saccharomyces cerevisiae; has structural similarity with the E coli DNA polymerase i-type enzymes Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- Synonym: mip1 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| polymerase, DNA | Enzyme that catalyses (speeds) the polymerization of DNA. DNA polymerase uses preexisting nucleic acid templates and assembles the DNA from deoxyribonucleotides. (12 Dec 1998) |
